Dear Friends,

Thank you for visiting my website and for this opportunity to tell you about my priorities and progress on the Bernalillo County Commission.

First, Bernalillo County must be more aggressive in reviving our struggling economy. Most importantly, we must create more jobs.

At Bernalillo County, we have taken the lead in refocusing our economic development resources on our local businesses to help them succeed and grow. We are investing in infrastructure improvements that keep us economically competitive.

In this difficult economy, I believe it is essential that taxpayer dollars are used wisely. That means getting rid of fraud and abuse that siphon money from crucial public services.

It also means applying tough new standards to economic development incentives and guaranteeing high-wage green jobs that stay in Bernalillo County.

These are tough times. The only way forward is to focus on the basics: Rebuilding our economy. Demanding accountability for taxpayer dollars. Protecting our natural resources. And drawing on our people and our quality of life.

Thank you again for your interest in Bernalillo County’s future. I welcome your input, comments, and suggestions.

Together, we will build a bright and sustainable future for generations to come. That work starts today.

Sincerely,

Maggie Hart Stebbins
