Izraelevitz: Proud Of Service Among The Best People
What makes for good government? Is it being responsive to local needs and expectations? Is it being fiscally responsible and a good steward of tax dollars? Or strategic planning that moves a community forward? Yes, all these things, but as the campaign season ends and my continued service is in the hands of you, the voters of Los Alamos, I want to talk about the most important component of government, and one that I have been most proud to serve with. We have some of the best people working for the County.
As the only incumbent Read More
Letter To The Editor: Trump’s Rhetoric Has Influence
Saying Trump’s rhetoric does not influence what people do is like saying Hitler’s rhetoric did not influence what the Nazi’s did.
Hitler’s people voted for him and then he betrayed his people.
Please vote.

Democratic Candidate
It is hard to believe that we are down to the last week of this election cycle, and I want to thank everyone for their patience during this long campaign.
Elections seem to come earlier and earlier, but the people of Los Alamos have been fantastic in inviting me, and my fellow candidates to speak to as many different groups as we possibly could.
For me, it seems like yesterday that me and my fellow candidates were all crammed in the municipal building after declaring our candidacies, patiently waiting for our ballot position in the primary. Read More

Letter To The Editor: Christine Chandler Will Follow High Standards Set By Jeannette Wallace And Stephanie Garcia Richard
By ANTONIO MAGGIORE
Los Alamos County Councilor
One of the hardest things about public service as an elected official can be to place the needs of the many over what you as an individual may selfishly want for yourself. Endorsing Christine Chandler is, if I’m being honest, for me one of those decisions.
I want to be clear about this, I have no doubts about Christine Chandler being overwhelmingly the best candidate to represent not only the interests of Los Alamos but all of District 43 as a whole. Why do I know this? I have campaigned against Christine, to refresh your memory I lost the primary to her Read More

Letter To The Editor: Elizabeth Allen Represents A Fresh Vision As Municipal Judge
As we reach the end of the 2018 election season, I invite local voters to consider our local Municipal Judge’s election. The current Municipal Judge has long sat in judgment of residents appearing in Municipal Court and been the leader of the direction of municipal justice in our town. It goes without saying that Judge Kirk has put in thousands of hours of service over the last decades and deserves our respect and thanks.
However, in the demanding and changing times in our community and country, to represent the needs and views of an increasingly new and younger community Read More

Letter To The Editor: I Love Lisa
I really love Lisa Shin for State Representative, she reminds me so much of Representative Cecelia Rosales from Gallup in McKinley County, the district that she was elected from, and like Lisa, she lit up a room when she entered. She was elected from a Democrat district.
Lisa has a personality that gives entry into conversation and is ready to work out differences when needed, I have found her very bright and she can search out vital information in short order, she has an analytic mind tuned to clarifying issues.
Some people disagree Read More
