My Top Issues
Infrastructure / Transportation
I am working to improve the roads and the challenges of the antiquated platting that exists in the city. I have supported our amazing public safety departments in the work they do to keep our communities safe and protected while ensuring they get the necessary training to confront the challenging issues of today.
Economy
Jobs are mission critical for Rio Rancho. We have to ensure an economic path that is supportive of the small businesses that are the foundation of our community. We also must be ready for future economic growth from larger businesses who seek to make Rio Rancho their next expansion project.
Education
Rio Rancho is known for our amazing schools and everything we do for the city supports the schools that are at the heart of our city. The city plays a role in educating our children through our libraries and community centers. With the changing dynamics of modern education, having strong and functional broadband is an absolute necessity.
Environment / Energy
From amazing community centers to beautiful trails, Rio Rancho has some things to offer. However, we still have a lot of work to do to make more recreational opportunities for young professionals, children, seniors and families.
Infrastructure / Transportation
I worked to ensure the development of The Villages! We were excited to welcome the MarketStreet grocery store and LotaBurger as the first businesses in this growing area.
