Our startup year is coming to a close. We’re thinking about how we can be even more impactful for Albuquerque in 2025. Did you know? In 2025, the mayor and five of nine City Council members — including all three Westside seats — are up for election. Whether you think Albuquerque is on the right track or a wrong one, we need trusted, unbiased journalists to check their records and challenge them on solutions. We see local news as a public service.

I was the first on both sides to go to college.
