Letter To The Editor: Melanie Colgan – A Lot To Like About This School Board Candidate
Residents of North and Barranca Mesas (District 4) are fortunate to have two strong candidates for the upcoming school board election.
But, based on my experience as a former school board member for this district as well as former school board president, I concur with our current member, Andrea Cunningham, that one candidate stands out above the other — Melanie Colgan (link).
I’ve known Melanie Colgan for more than a dozen years, and throughout that time I’ve been amazed by the extent to which she has poured her talent and energy into Read More

Letter To The Editor: Parent And Teacher Melanie Colgan Will Be A Great Addition To Our School Board
How nice it is to see that Melanie Colgan is running for School Board District 4 (Barranca and North Mesa communities). From my experience, I always appreciate any time I get to see or work with Melanie.
Our families moved to Los Alamos within a year of each other and her children were a few years behind mine at Barranca Mesa Elementary, so our time on Barranca PTO overlapped. I saw Melanie inspire a sense of balance, calm, enthusiasm and focus to each group she was part of.
She was an exceptional PTO vice president, president and coordinator of the Bobcat Bonanza fundraiser. Read More
Letter To The Editor: Julia Baker Is The Way To Go!
As I contemplate which candidate would be best suited to serve on the school board for District 3, I can’t help but feel jealous of my friends in District 4 who have, by far, the best candidate for school board. Julia Baker, I wish I could vote for you!
I have had the privilege of knowing Julia Baker for over ten years. In those years, I have seen her in myriad roles: as my child’s preschool teacher, as a dedicated mother to her five children, as a volunteer serving on PTO and PTA at different schools, and as a mentor to youth in the community. Even with all this, she still finds Read More

Letter To The Editor: Vote For David Hampton, A New Voice And Vision For UNM-LA
I ask the community to vote David Hampton for the UNM-LA Advisory Board, position 3. We need new and fresh voices at the table to move our community forward.
I certainly appreciate his vision to push UNM-LA towards becoming a 4-year Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) university. We keep losing our brightest and best students to out-of-state colleges, and a local 4-year college par excellence could encourage them to stay.
There would be stubborn resistance from UNM Main Campus, of course, so this initiative would require strong community
