People First, Policy for All
My Work as Your Commissioner
As your Commissioner for District 2, I am advancing a policy agenda rooted in equity, transparency, trust-building, and community-driven decision-making.
My priorities reflect my core leadership values and commitment to my role as Commissioner, ensuring that County government listens, learns, and leads alongside the people it serves.
Community-Driven Governance & Accountability
I believe in governance for and by the people. I am working to expand meaningful opportunities for public input, strengthen accountability, and make sure residents have clear information about the County's decisions and investments. I am committed to being accessible to all residents of District 2 and to fostering transparency in how decisions are made.
Housing, Infrastructure & Resilient Communities
Every resident deserves a safe place to call home and a healthy environment to live in. I am working to increase access to affordable and culturally rooted housing, long-term supportive housing for the homeless who suffer from druf addiction, improve safety along our roads and sidewalks, and preserve parks and open spaces. I am also focused on disaster preparedness and recovery - ensuring we are ready to respond to wildfire, flooding, and public health emergencies.
Sustainability of Water, Land & Our Natural World
Our land and waters are sacred - the foundation of community health, cultural identity, and economic vitality. I am committeed to protecting acequias, wells, aquifers, rivers, forests, and wildlife corridors; preserving agricultural and traditional lands; and advancing climate-smart practices that safeguard our ecological heritage. I support responsible, community-centered renewable energy development that protects our land and water, strengthens local resilience, and ensures the benefits of solar and clean energy flow directly to the people who live here - not just to large corporations.
Behavioral Health, Senior Services & Community Wellness
With my background in mental health and public health, I am committed to strengthening behavioral health services across the lifespan. I am prioritizing prevention, treatment, and crisis response and improving how systems work together. I am working with the County to assure we are a leader and trusted partner in implementing behavioral health reform in the state and regionally for older adults, youth, veterans, families, and those most impacted by inequities. I advocate that we have trauma-informed policies and practices across county government and that our services are culturally responsive, and grounded in dignity and recovery.
Workforce, Equity & Economic Opportunity
A thriving county reflects and supports the diversity of its residents. I advocate for local hiring, workforce development through training and mentoring programs, and equitable contracting across all our operations and programs. I want to ensure that economic and arts/culture opportunity reaches every community, including those that have been historically excluded. I advocate for tourism and economic development that celebrates and sustains our cultural heritage — ensuring visitors honor the people and places that make Santa Fe County unique.
