Letter To The Editor: Why Rep. Stephanie Garcia Richard Should Continue Serving Our House District 43
I want to share why I will be voting for Stephanie Garcia Richard to continue serving as our State Representative.
The good news is that both candidates, Stephanie and Sharon Stover, are dedicated public servants who clearly care about children and youth and building a more vibrant economy that benefits everyone.
However, there are three major reasons why I think a vote for Stephanie is a vote to support our teachers and improve education and a vote for Sharon is a vote to support our Governor’s current education policies that denigrate our teachers and hurt our students. Read More

Letter To The Editor: What Is The U.S. Doing In The Middle East?
We are involved in various ways in the wars in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen. In most we are fighting against the Islamic State* with a limited coalition. The US position is to demand that President Bashar Assad step down and we support rebel factions fighting for the same goal.

Letter To The Editor: Endorsement Of Anne Nobile For County Probate Judge
I enthusiastically support Anne Nobile for County Probate Judge. I have known Anne for a number of years and worked with her on behalf of Los Alamos schools issues; e.g., support of Jody Benson for the School Board, which was a successful endeavor.

Having served as the County’s probate judge, she knows the job – and will faithfully continue to do the job needed and expected by County citizens.
In addition to my endorsement Read More
