Bob The Dog stole my “I Voted” sticker, so this gives me the opportunity to remind everyone that early voting is happening now in the run-off election, #Albuquerque. Keep Mayor Keller.We do NOT need a wanna be tough guy mini-Trump who is great at running his mouth but has no idea how to run a city.

Day of the Dead for pets is today, October 27. Creating a small altar at home with your pet's favorite toys, treats, and a picture of them surrounded by marigolds is a heartfelt way to keep their memory alive and feel their presence.

Was great to meet Melani Buchanan Farmer at a house party last night. City Council District 9 is flippable. There are so many great things about Albuquerque that we all love, but the challenges are daunting - particularly with what is happening on the federal level. 1/2
