Priorities
Separation & Representation
District 5 deserves clear, effective representation that respects both Albuquerque communities and the East Mountains. The priority is balanced decision-making that ensures neither voice is overshadowed while identifying shared needs like public safety and infrastructure.
Infrastructure & Roads
Reliable infrastructure is foundational. This includes maintaining and upgrading roads, improving traffic flow, and ensuring East Mountain communities have safe, all-weather access through equitable investment across the district.
Water Security
Water is the defining issue for our future. Responsible stewardship means protecting aquifers and supporting science-based water policy that safeguards supply for both Albuquerque and East Mountain residents.
Zoning & Responsible Growth
Smart zoning protects quality of life. We must manage density in Albuquerque responsibly while preserving rural character in the East Mountains, ensuring community-driven planning that respects property rights.
Public Safety
Safe communities require strong coordination between law enforcement, fire, and EMS. We must prioritize staffing, response times, and prevention strategies to ensure first responders have the tools they need.
Emergency Systems
Modern, interoperable radio systems are critical, especially in mountainous terrain. Upgrading communication infrastructure ensures seamless coordination across agencies, improving efficiency and saving lives.
Connectivity
Expanding reliable broadband and cellular service is essential for education, healthcare, and business. Better coverage strengthens economic opportunity and public safety across the district.
Economic Development
We support local businesses and job creation while respecting community character—fostering innovation in Albuquerque and supporting small business and tourism in the East Mountains.
Community Engagement
Leadership must be visible and accessible. Regular meetings ensure all voices are heard, allowing us to move beyond division and build solutions for Democrats, Republicans, and Independents alike.
