POLITICAL News:

Rep. Rick Miera, Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor, was in Los Alamos for a meet and greet with Los Alamosians as part of his statewide MainStreet tour of New Mexico’s Main Streets. He stopped by the Los Alamos Daily Post this evening to talk about his campaign and the issues he wants to address to improve the state.

Miera was at Bathtub Row Brewing Co-op earlier today in Central Park Square to listen and discuss how to reinvest in New Mexico’s working families and small businesses.

“It is vital that the state invest in local communities to provide them with the tools that they need to thrive,” Miera said. “Investing in small businesses is a key part of fostering healthy communities across New Mexico.”

Prior to that event, Miera met at the the Los Alamos MainStreet office to discuss what is happening in Los Alamos and what the state can do to encourage more small business development and strengthen its Main Streets.
