Dear District 17 Constituents,

It is difficult to watch so many catastrophic events happening around our nation, and state. Locally our communities need help if you are able, please give to the American Red Cross, or to The Community Foundation of Lincoln County, PO Box 2750, Ruidoso, NM 88355. Please help if you can.
Closer to our District, there are many local nonprofits working around Albuquerque and Bernalillo County on various issues, such

as with our children, youth, housing, seniors, etc. My Office is happy to provide you with a more detailed list of non-profits you can donate funding to, or much-needed items. 

Speaking of our District 17 office, we are happy to inform you that I have opened a local office at the Don Newton Taylor Ranch Community Center on Monday and Wednesday mornings. My Assistant Gabriella Griego is there on those days, between the hours of 8-10:30 am, as oftentimes I have conflicting meetings. However, if you care to meet with me on any issue, we are always available to schedule a date and time to meet with you in person, or on a Zoom call. I am grateful to the City of Albuquerque for providing this free meeting space for District 17.

If you haven’t noticed by now the first phase of our Cibola Loop Multigenerational Center is being built. It is so exciting as I began the development of this project as your former City Councilor, and my office as your Legislator has provided millions of dollars to build this first phase. A Ribbon Cutting will be forthcoming in late fall, and I hope to see you all in attendance. This is great news for seniors and youth, as many much-needed social services will become available at this location, and we will no longer need to drive to the North Domingo Baca Multigenerational Center or the West Mesa Community Center.  We will finally have our very own Multigenerational Center!  (See photos below) Phase Two should include a library and Olympic sized swimming pool when built.
