Española

Española is at a crossroads, do we continue down the path of decline where instability, controversy, and incompetence dominant city hall or do we try something new? Over the last four years John Ramon Vigil has made the City of Española his own personal telenovela, with constant headlines about his personal problems, staff turnover, and rising crime and homelessness rates. During his term as Mayor the city has stumbled into millions of dollars in debt and we haven’t been able to often pass more than 4-5 ordinances a year. 

I’m supporting Dennis Tim Salazar because he will provide stable and steady leadership as we navigate how to get the city back on track. I know as a Councilor I can actually work with him and that he won’t get into screaming matches with colleagues at City Hall. His 20 years of experience as a city councilor speak for themselves. He’s passed budgets in the black and got audits done. We need an adult in the room again, please vote for my friend Dennis Tim Salazar for Mayor of Española.
