By ANDREA DETERMAN
Former Chair
Los Alamos Democratic Party
The choice in New Mexico’s Secretary of State race is clear—competence or chaos.

Auditors identified incomplete official records, missing supporting documents, and transparency failures that reduced the public’s Read More

Town of Taos Councilor & Mayor Pro Tem
I am Genevieve Oswald, a Town of Taos Councilor. Now, not being from your community, I don’t really have much place to offer an opinion or endorsement in your local election — but after serving alongside Los Alamos County Councilor Melanee Hand on the North Central Regional Transit District Board (NCRTD Blue Bus) for the past two and a half years, I feel at least somewhat qualified to throw my voice out into the wind.
What’s important to know is that the Blue Bus doesn’t stop at county lines, and neither do the challenges our communities Read More

Op-Ed: Be Forewarned…
By CHRISTINA STAFFORD
White Rock
Be Forewarned … the signs of N.M. 4 work beginning 5/28/26. It actually started today 5/29/26. The state is repaving. That’s great! HOWEVER, do they EVER plan for a temporary lane? What about Emergency Response events?
