The city of Santa Fe has proposed raising the city's "living wage" to $17.50/hr, with annual increases tied to inflation & local housing costs. The goal is to keep the city diverse, equitable and affordable. What do you think? Tell the city by completing its survey at bit.ly/4guPQn1

What does ranked choice voting mean for Santa Fe's mayoral race? If past behavior of Santa Fe voters is an indicator, one result is certain: Ranked choice voting will help play a deciding role.
