Sen. Jaramillo: Española’s Culture Deserves Recognition
By Sen. Leo Jaramillo
New Mexico Dist. 5
Los Alamos, Rio Arriba, Sandoval & Santa Fe
As a proud native son of the Española Valley and a member of the New Mexico State Senate, I was deeply disappointed to see the veto of $500,000 that would have funded Phase 2 of the feasibility study for a Lowrider Museum in Española. This follows last year’s veto of legislation recognizing our community as the “Lowrider Capital of the World”.
That license plate bill received bipartisan support, and when I rose to defend it on the Senate floor, my colleagues responded with a standing ovation. Lawmakers from across Read More

Los Alamos
For the people of Los Alamos, the sidewalks on Trinity Drive and Central Avenue next to the Pond, have become hallowed ground. Since the dark dawn of October 2023, a small but unyielding group of community members has gathered there every single Saturday, a living testament to the belief that bearing witness is a sacred duty. As the genocide in Gaza unfolded, the need to amplify Palestinian voices—to move beyond the picket line and into a deeper space of education and solidarity—became our urgent call.

Maggiore: Why I’m Running For Sheriff
By ANTONIO MAGGIORE
Candidate for Sheriff
Dear Los Alamos,
First I want to say thank you to everyone who has already reached out in support of my candidacy for Sheriff. I’m truly humbled and deeply grateful.

It takes more time and effort than I am currently able to give to the community. I still want to serve Los Alamos to the best of my ability, and that means doing more than just pouring beer. I understand the importance of this job and the specific role it plays in our county. Read More
