By MELANEE HAND 
Candidate for Re-election
Los Alamos County Council 

I’m deeply honored by the trust our community has placed in me as the votes were tallied from our primary election for four County Councilor seats. This victory belongs to everyone who believes in practical solutions, improved regional relations, and a strong future for Los Alamos County.

To my supporters, volunteers, friends, and family — thank you for your energy, your conversations, and your belief in this work. And to those who did not support me, I want you to know I am here to continue serving you as well.

I also want to thank all the candidates who competed for this position, putting in the hard work to drive a campaign. Every voice matters, and I will continue listening to our whole community.

This campaign was about the issues that shape our daily lives: improved communication, better government processes, housing, infrastructure, environmental stewardship, and a healthy local economy. It was about working together — with residents, partners, and regional leaders — to solve challenges and build on our strengths.

I’m ready to get back to work. Thank you for your trust, your partnership, and your commitment to our shared future. Let’s move forward together.
