Opinion

This is an unsolicited endorsement for the re-election of Marco Lucero as sheriff of Los Alamos County.

I have personally witnessed Sheriff Lucero’s commitment to reassuring citizens of Los Alamos of their safety at a public event, when concerns (warranted or not) arose. He did so freely, without even a direct request for a supplemental security presence, on his own initiative, and without any recompense. At the time, the LAPD, although they also contributed, could not provide the same level of a reassuring physical security presence.

In my opinion, this Read More

I’m Bill McKerley, and I’m a candidate for the County Council. My wife and I have been extremely fortunate to live and rear our children in this great community.

I’m always happy during an election year. The LADailyPost, for example, has been a continuous stream of encouraging, positive descriptions of how our Congressional representatives have been productive for New Mexico. In fact, since Oct. 13 of last year, there have been (about) 108 citations of Tom Udall, 96 for Martin Heinrich, 41 for Ben Ray Lujan, 16 for Michelle Lujan Grisham, and nine or so for Steve Pierce. In every picture, the smiles are broad and the eyes are beaming.

Why start counting with Oct. 13? Because that’s when the LADailyPost reported a national Read More

Stephanie is a hard worker, with a clear understanding of the issues before the legislature. She is always available to discuss issues and concerns with her constituents.

Stephanie scored a solid 79 percent in voting to protect our air, land, water and wildlife, Read More

Not many people pay attention to the midterm elections, yet we have some very important decisions to make as we cast our ballots.

One of them is deciding on a new judge to send to the New Mexico Court of Appeals. I will support Kerry Kiernan because of his 30 years of legal experience serving New Mexicans. He began his career as a New Mexico public defender and later worked for a highly respect law firm in Albuquerque. His experience is not only broad but it is deep. His professional temperament and work ethic, and his ability to listen to all sides of an issue, make him an excellent Read More
