Campaign Website:

1. What is the top priority in your District and how would you address it as a county commissioner?

Homelessness and related crime and substance use are my top concerns. I will continue to build on the progress of our coordinated approach with the city to build more affordable housing, supportive housing and transitional housing. Laws need to be enforced along with offering behavioral health and treatment services.

2. Under what circumstances, if any, would you support a tax increase? And what types, if any, would you support?

We should streamline programs and limit wasteful contracts and consultants, less spending is key not higher taxes. The county has invested in better pay for deputies and more crisis response teams without tax increases. I cut taxes for low income homeowners and the county has implemented an exemption for veterans.

3. What do you think should be the county鈥檚 top three capital project priorities?

Building additional supportive and transitional housing should be a top priority to reduce chronic homelessness. Water and sewer infrastructure like the Carnuel Water Sewer Project and South Valley Drinking Water Project are critical initiatives. Lastly, quality of life facilities like parks and community centers such as Los Vecinos Community Center.

4. What differentiates you from your opponents?

I鈥檝e already done the work. I鈥檝e sponsored and helped pass crucial legislation in addressing the issues our county faces; from reforming behavioral health to cutting taxes for low income residents. As a plumber and small business owner, I know how to solve problems through hardwork, innovation and common sense.

5. What do you believe are some of the largest issues facing Bernalillo County?

Homelessness, drug use, and lack of adequate treatment are the biggest interconnected issues facing the county. We have made progress reforming our behavioral health system but too many people are still suffering on our streets. Conditions in the unhoused community are inhumane and spill over into our neighborhoods and businesses.

6. What role, if any, should the county commission play in advising the Bernalillo County Sheriff鈥檚 Office on matters related to public safety?

The commission funds the Sheriff鈥檚 Office. Our role is to evaluate proposed programs and needs, then allocate spending based on objectives and outcomes. The Sheriff and his staff are the experts on public safety and our job is to ensure that money is well spent and producing beneficial outcomes.

7. What are your ideas for improving conditions for both employees and inmates at the Metropolitan Detention Center?

MDC has been in a consent decree for over 30 years. We need to prioritize ending management by lawyers, consultants, and outside entities. This will free up resources to better pay staff and provide more re-entry services to inmates. Prioritizing rehabilitation programs will prepare inmates to reenter our community successfully.

8. How would you work to improve the economy in Bernalillo County?

Reducing crime and homelessness will make us more attractive to businesses and residents. That鈥檚 why I鈥檝e worked to expand housing options and expand our Metro Sheriff鈥檚 unit to fight crime. The county also needs to better align its economic incentives with recruiting high quality employers and supporting local small businesses.

9. What strategies do you have for reducing homelessness? Please be specific.

I鈥檝e helped turn around the Tiny Home Village鈥檚 now full. We still need more transitional housing options. It shouldn鈥檛 be a tent on the sidewalk or an apartment, with nothing in between. We also need more diversion programs to place our homeless population into treatment with wraparound services.
