Isaac Benton for City Council District 2
|
 EDo News & Views encourages all our readers to vote in the Municipal Elections on October 8th (or vote early,) and we urge you to vote for Isaac Benton to serve a third term on the City Council.
Ike was elected former District 3 City Councilor in 2005, and re-elected in 2009. He represented the Downtown and historic neighborhoods of District 3 with integrity and principle. As we do, he supports walkable neighborhoods, complete streets that encourage safe walking and cycling (which means higher transit ridership), housing that is affordable for working citizens close to jobs, redevelopment of our obsolete strip corridors, and accountable public safety. We need his continuing strong voice on the City Council for the issues we care about in Central Albuquerque.
How is Councilor Benton now running for District 2?
Over strong opposition from many, the 2012 City Council redistricting, supported by Mayor Berry, moved District 3 - our city's most diverse, historic area - to the West Side to create a new district there. This ill-advised action is the subject of a Federal Voting Rights Act lawsuit at the present time. We hope historic District 3 will be restored by the legal process.
In the meantime, Councilor Benton is running for the gerrymandered District 2 seat. We thank Mayor Berry's interim appointee, Roxanna Meyers, for her willingness to step in last year to serve out former Councilor Debbie O'Malley's remaining term.
Thank you for supporting Isaac Benton. His 8 years of loyalty to us deserves our loyalty in return.

Buy Local - Smart Business and Good For You
|
 Ever wonder where all our money spent in Mr. Big Box Retailer goes? That giant sucking sound is all that money leaving the 505 area code. What's that doing to and for Albuquerque? Pretty much a lot of low wage jobs, and not much else.
There's a better way - buy Local, from People You Know!
Keep It Querque is an association of local businesses who want you to be their customer. What does this mean to you? Better service, better quality, a personal connection, and your money staying in town to support our local economy - which supports you!
Lose the big box habit - let's build a healthy, local economy together. Thank you.

 The UNM Regents approved a plan allowing the university to obtain a $1.5 M federal grant to help purchase the 7+ acre First Baptist Church site at Broadway & Central in EDo. Successful research districts create a density of creative professionals living within a square mile "where people bump into each other with enough frequency that they make things happen," University President Bob Frank said. Sounds like EDo to us!
