Working to Preserve and Enhance Our Future
Democratic Candidate for Santa Fe County Commission, District 2
Democratic Candidate for Santa Fe County Commission, District 2
I am an attorney in Santa Fe and a former Assistant Attorney General. While serving in both terms of former Attorney General Gary King's administration, I had the opportunity to work on several matters that impacted the lives of real New Mexicans, including helping to convince the New Mexico Supreme Court to recognize the constitutional right of New Mexicans to marry the person of their choice regardless of gender.
I graduated from Eastern New Mexico University in 1997 and from the University of Chicago Law School in 2001. After law school I clerked for Justice Pamela Minzner on the New Mexico Supreme Court, spent five years with a large law firm in Dallas, Texas, and then came back to Santa Fe to work for AG King.
I believe the single most important mission of the County Commission is to safeguard our natural resources by ensuring that we all have access to clean water and that we use County land sustainably and responsibly. As more people join us in our community - and as we work together to provide affordable housing for ourselves and our neighbors - it is critical that we develop and rigorously apply standards that ensure our community continues to thrive as it grows.
I am a long time Santa Fe resident with deep roots in the community. I'm raising a family here and want to preserve for future generations what makes this such a wonderful place to live and work.
Everyone knows how precious our limited natural resources are. I recognize their paramount importance, and am open to creative ideas about how best to preserve and improve them.
The lifeblood of democracy is an informed citizenry. I am committed to ensuring that everyone not only knows what the government is doing, but why. I consider public service to be a sacred trust, and it has to be accomplished in the open.
