My priority is building a Rio Rancho that works for everyone that includes safe neighborhoods, fair wages, honest government, strong local businesses, and smart growth that protects our infrastructure, environment, and tax dollars.
I believe in engaging the community, collaborating instead of dividing, and making transparent decisions that put residents — not special interests — first.
Education, Youth & Quality of Life
Strong schools are essential to a strong city
Rio Rancho has one of the top school districts in the state
New high school opening in District 1; Independence High School expanding
The city doesn’t run schools, but we can be an active partner
Support safe routes, after-school programs, parks, and libraries
Work collaboratively with City Council members across viewpoints
Engage residents, labor, educators, conservationists, and small businesses
Build partnerships with neighboring cities, counties, and tribal governments
Lead with empathy, respect, and integrity
Rio Rancho loses revenue when residents shop elsewhere.
Support local businesses and retail growth.
Attract services residents already drive out of town for.
Keep tax dollars circulating locally.
Clear communication builds public trust.
Explain decisions, especially difficult ones.
Regular community engagement across the city.
Accountability and follow-through matter.
Engage residents, labor, educators, conservationists, and small businesses.
Local government must respect due process and human dignity
Public safety strategies should be community-centered and transparent
Collaboration with outside agencies must include clear oversight and accountability
Residents deserve to know how and why enforcement actions occur in their city.
Advocate for development projects that prioritize local hiring
Bring forward questions about environmental impact, air quality, and water protection
Ensure economic growth does not come at the expense of surrounding communities or pueblos
Support small businesses as key drivers of local prosperity
Quality of Life
Parks, roads, public safety, and city services matter
Maintain and fix infrastructure before expanding
Protect what makes Rio Rancho a beautiful place to live
Growth should improve daily life for residents
Expand city-sponsored events to bring the community together
Advocate for diverse housing options that serve families, seniors, and young professionals
Prioritize infrastructure repair and modernization
Bring infrastructure impacts forward in council discussions before approving new development
Support zoning conversations that reflect community needs, not special interests.
Engage residents, labor, educators, conservationists, and small businesses.
