Alex Answers Shady Survey Questions
YouTube video by Alex for Albuquerque Alex Answers Shady Survey Questions

Someone’s paying to spread disinfo through a shady “anonymous survey.” When you challenge the status quo, it gets ugly. Alex isn’t a career politician — he’s a former U.S. Attorney who’s not afraid of the truth. Watch him take it on.

Albuquerque mayoral candidates split on Trump homelessness order threatening $167M in federal funding - City Desk ABQ Albuquerque mayoral candidates are sharply divided over President Trump’s executive order threatening to cut off federal funding to cities that don’t enforce civil commitment laws for homeless individ...

The President is issuing unenforceable executive orders once again and pushing policies that will fill his friends' pocketbooks and prisons but not make us safer.

I spoke to @thepaperabq about what our city ought to do.

This morning @Axios covered the #Albuquerque mayor's race!
It's because our outsider campaign to shake up the status quo is part of a trend nationally. People know the way we're going isn't working. We need to show govt can work for them again.

Uballez criticizes Keller’s ICE policy, calls for stronger immigrant protections - City Desk ABQ Mayoral candidate and Former U.S. Attorney Alex Uballez launched a petition last weekend urging Albuquerque to adopt stronger immigrant protections, criticizing the city’s response as insufficient…

While Mayor Keller’s executive order shares key goals—like protecting sensitive locations, boosting transparency, limiting city cooperation with ICE and educating residents—Uballez’s plan goes further.

If you fully approve of how the city is today, then, by all means, vote for the incumbent. But if you want a city that is safe for our children and full of opportunities for their futures and you want someone who will work tirelessly for it, then vote #AlexforAbq

Abq has a history of resilience & of immigrant-friendly policy. But Trump's attacks and ICE's actions make this an urgent time for local response and action.

Here are 11 steps the City of Albuquerque can take to keep our city safe for our immigrant neighbors.

An update on today's vote in Washington. We need an alternative. Not just alternative politics but an alternative plan that raises the revenue so that Albuquerque can protect its families and our public institutions and continue to grow and thrive.

Too many people, especially Black, Indigenous, people of color and poor people experience government as a “no” to their needs.

I’ve made it my life’s work to make government work for the people whether that is opening cold cases or finding answers and offering closure to mourning families.

Last night, PBS aired a special on "Operation Not Forgotten."

That’s me in the photo standing in solidarity with families outside of the Congressional Not Invisible Act Commission, minutes before I announced the creation of the DOJ's MMIP Regional Outreach Program.

The race of Albuquerque mayor is officially set. Reimagining Albuquerque has a write-up of our "bold reforms" vs the incumbents "cautious pragmatism."

More abundant, more functional, and more fearless. Let's go!

City council did add the prevailing wage amendment before passing the IRB.

“This IRB the way it is written … is a $227 million giveaway with no worker protections and no affordable housing during our biggest crisis, which is a housing crisis,... and therefore it is not maximizing those tax dollars.” -

There are better ways to make our communities safer than spending that budget than on deploying the national guard, even if they are in polo shirts and equipped with pepper spray

I attended council to voice my concern, ""I believe our city must grow.  But this feels like a race to the bottom putting municipalities against each other. I have to ask why the City of Albuquerque would ask for less for its residents than the County did..."

Tomorrow morning the people of #Albuquerque will wake to find out that their city gov't gave a nearly quarter of a million dollar IRB to a new project without a guarantee of local hire or inclusion of #AffordableHousing.
