Are you ready for a change at City Hall? Ready to end the reign of the Special Interest Group that has been controlling our Government for the past ten years? Well so am I, Our City is a special place with some of the most caring people I have ever met, we need a City Government that reflects that attitude. In the past ten years it has become increasingly difficult to deal with City Government on many issues. From my personal experience everything from the permit process to the way the city government interacts with the community could use some revision. By “Cutting The Red Tape” my goal is to make sure Las Cruces city residents and business voices are heard!

A little bit about my background: I have been a businessman in New Mexico for over 30 years. One thing I have learned is to listen to my clients and my staff. Some of the best ideas and solutions come from those within a particular circumstance. Over the years, I have served on numerous boards and advisory committees. Currently I am President of the Las Cruces Host Lions Club, I served on the board of directors for SNMDO (Southern New Mexico Diabetes Outreach), as well as on the Advisory Board for DACC (Dona Ana Community College) Electronics and Aerospace programs. I have also volunteered my time in the local film industry.What will I accomplish as your city councilor? As both a resident and businessman in Las Cruces I will restore balance and common sense to our City Government. Too often our current administration allows itself to be influenced by special interest groups. Our City Government seems to forget that they are here to serve the people and not the people are here to serve them. I need your vote and support on November 5, 2019
