Benton

We congratulate Isaac on his re-election, and thank him for his public service to our community. As an architect and urbanist, he is a great fan of diverse, walkable communities like EDo. We appreciate his support of our efforts to make EDo one of the friendliest “live-work-walk-shop-dine” neighborhoods in Albuquerque.

ENV Endorses Richard Romero for Mayor

Posted in News on October 5th, 2009
RomeroRichard is a Downtown resident, served in the Air National Guard, is a former principal of new Albuquerque High, and a 12-year member of the State Senate representing Downtown. He served as President Pro Tem of the Senate from 2001-4. He has proven collaborative leadership skills.      On local, state and national levels, Richard will best represent the values and the warmth of the people of Albuquerque.
We thank Martin Chavez for his public service to our City, but having served three of the last four terms as Mayor, we think Mr. Chavez needs to honor the City Charter two-term limit. Democracy is not well served, in our view, by institutionalizing the office of Mayor. We also thank Richard Berry for his willingness to run for public office. We encourage everyone to vote on Tuesday, October 6th.

We urge you to vote for the candidate of your choice on Tuesday, October 6th.
