25 years of serving the people of Sandoval County in the Assessor’s Office
about gerred prairie
For the past two and a half decades, I have had the privilege of working within the Assessor’s Office and learning firsthand the importance of accuracy, fairness, and transparency in property assessment. This experience has given me a deep understanding of the role and the responsibility it carries for our residents, property owners, and local communities.
In addition to my service in the Assessor’s Office, I have also had the honor of serving as a City Councilman for the Town of Bernalillo, where I have worked alongside community leaders to support responsible growth, accountability, and good governance. My commitment has always been simple: serve people well and do the work with integrity.
I was raised with the belief that public service is a calling rooted in hard work, honesty, and doing what is right even when no one is watching. Those values were instilled in me by my late father, Dale, and they continue to guide how I live, lead, and serve today.
As I begin this campaign, I am asking for your support. Running a countywide campaign requires resources to reach voters, communicate our vision, and ensure the residents of Sandoval County understand the experience and commitment I bring to this office.
Your financial support will help our campaign:
Reach voters across Sandoval County
Share a message of responsible leadership and integrity
Build a strong grassroots campaign focused on service, transparency, and experience
If you believe in experienced leadership and a commitment to serving the people of Sandoval County, I humbly ask you to consider making a contribution to my campaign. Every donation, large or small, helps move this campaign forward.
Thank you for your time, your support, and your trust.
With gratitude,
