CNM and APS Board Candidates

Today was the day for candidates to file to run for local school boards. I went down to the county clerk’s office to speak with candidates and get the unofficial list of those running for the positions. Maggie Toulouse Oliver has a very skilled group of people working for her. The official list will be mailed to the candidates. I asked many candidates to give me a call and set up an interview. As always the most important thing about elections is to educate the voting public on who is running and what their stands are on local issues. For Central New Mexico Community College I was happy to be able to call both Blair L. Kaufman and Robert P. Matteucci to let them know that they were unopposed in their races. I was surprised to learn that Richard Barr who is a republican will not be running in this year’s election.

For CNM Community College Board:

District No. 1 Robert P Matteucci












District No. 3
1. Nick D. Brennan
2. Deborah L. Moore
3. Jeff Armijo

District No. 5 Blair L. Kaufman (Look forward to seeing you at the party this week tell Ann I said hi.)










District No. 7
1. Jerry Leonard Scott
2. Michael D. Dewitte

Good luck to all of the candidates early voting starts on January 6 which does not give candidates a lot of time to get out the vote.

For APS:

District No. 3
1. Leonard J. Delayo
2. Agatha (Aggie) Lopez
3. Jeffrey C. Rich
4. Lorenzo L. Garcia
5. Anna L. Armijo

District No 5.
1. Carolyne De Vore-Parks
2. Renee Louise Rosales
3. Paula M. Maes

District No. 6
1. Mary Lee Martin
2. David L. Robbins

District No. 7
1. Patrick J. Marron
2. David Eugene Peercy
3. Michael L. Swisher

All of these candidates are faced with a limited amount of time to get their message out to the voting public and most will be knocking on doors from now until Election Day. Are we truly ready for this once more? For those of you that missed walking neighborhoods here is your chance to get out once more.

Just a reminder that Thursday is the Democratic Party of Bernalillo County’s Christmas Party and fundraiser. This year the party is raising money for homeless children without coats. I hope that all of the democratic candidates can make it to the party.

Here is an APS group that helps out with the homeless children in the city.
