Families in Albuquerque deserve to feel safe. My plan modernizes 911, frees officers to focus on violent crime, expands prevention, and ensures people in crisis get treatment. Together, we can build a safer city.

A full and energizing day in the community with the NAIOP Forum, the Old Town Sawmill Forum, and Coffee & Conversation at the Barelas Senior Center. Thoughtful questions & honest conversations remind us: building a safer, stronger ABQ starts with listening.

Construction workers, providers & even officials were exposed to asbestos at the Gateway Center. Keller ignored warnings, skipped testing, overrode a stop work order & broke OSHA rules. Largest safety fine in city history. This wasn’t an accident it was willful & wrong. youtu.be/c0bKrWlipLk?...

“Alex shows up for his family, he’ll show up for all of us.”

Peggy Lopez, Alex’s mother-in-law, has watched him grow into an engaged father, trusted friend & dedicated public servant. For her, this race is personal. Alex fights for every family in Albuquerque.

We’ve heard a lot of questions about “splitting the vote.” Here’s the truth: in Albuquerque’s elections, that’s not how it works. This is a thread 👇

Former State Rep. Brittany Barreras:

“Alex has one of the most compassionate hearts I’ve ever met. He supports all of us. We are together. We are Albuquerque.”

Proud to have her support as we fight for a safer, stronger city.

Thanks for having me ASUNM!

Young people have the most at stake in ABQ's future, and their voices are essential in shaping it. The questions were thoughtful, challenging, and showed just how impressive this next generation of leaders truly is.

If elected Mayor, I will do a thorough review, require regular training, strengthen whistleblower protections, & equip the OIG to make sure that anyone working for the city has a safe workplace and feels confident they can speak out if there ever is a need.

To be mentioned in the @newyorker.com by @billmckibben.bsky.social alongside so many other candidates running to challenge the status quo was not on my bingo card today.

All credit goes to our volunteers making the country take notice of our race.

Zohran Mamdani isn’t the only candidate challenging the status quo—and having fun doing it.

Honored to earn Equality NM's endorsement. At a time when LGBTQ, especially trans, neighbors are under attack, I’ll be a partner at City Hall all year, fighting for equity, safety & opportunity so no one is left behind.

Yesterday we joined the Westside Democrats, Route 66 West Fest, and Globalquerque. Today we wrapped up the weekend with the North East Heights Democrats’ Picnic in the Park. Great conversations, community, and momentum for a stronger Albuquerque.
