Rio Rancho’s Revamp: A Model for New Mexico

The city of Rio Rancho was flat‑lined when its mayor first took office in 2014.
Business growth stalled, roads stayed cracked and a major employer was leaving.

The mayor said no more.

Over Twelve Years of Change

• Infrastructure – Roads were repaired and police funding doubled, making Rio Rancho one of the safest places in New Mexico.
• Business Climate – Red tape was cut, a friendly environment created; Intel stayed and expanded, new firms arrived, families moved in for the opportunities.
• Community Recognition – By 2026 Rio Rancho was nationally recognized as a top family town and the fastest‑growing city in the state.

The mayor’s record shows what can happen when practical leadership meets community needs.

Now Running for Governor

He says New Mexico faces the same problems: people leaving, safety gaps and schools that fail kids.
He argues only proven results can fix this.

• Campaign Focus – Not a party stunt; seeks votes from all Republicans, independents and Democrats who want change.
• Vision – Build a state that offers safety, affordability and good schools for everyone.

New Mexico has great resources and hardworking people.
What it needs is a leader who can unlock that potential, just as he did in Rio Rancho.

He asks voters for the chance to bring that success statewide.
