Representative
Antonio "Moe" Maestas
I have worked with Michelle in passing
several public health initiatives in the
legislature. Michelle is an accomplished leader,
has the guts to get things done (for the west
side) and has a clear vision for a "Better
Bernalillo County." I am proud to vote for
Michelle and encourage you to do the same.
Representative
Rhonda King
One of Michelle’s greatest qualities is her
responsiveness to constituents. I can always
count on Michelle to respond to individual, as
well as community, needs. Most recently, she
brought an issue to me, on behalf of a woman
raising her disabled grandchild, and was then
instrumental in helping us to pass important
legislation – work she did solely as a
volunteer. The residents of Bernalillo County
will be fortunate to have someone with
Michelle’s commitment representing them. I
strongly support her candidacy for county
commissioner.
Senator Dede
Feldman
Michelle is a strong advocate for the most
vulnerable members of our community. She stands
up for seniors by pursuing public policies that
protect their rights. I have had the pleasure of
working with Michelle and having her support on
issues I care about – access to affordable
quality health care and prescription drugs,
public health, consumer protections and
transparency in publically funded programs, to
name a few. I support Michelle and look forward
to having her be my commissioner.
Representative
Nick Salazar
I have worked with Michelle for almost two
decades, primarily on senior issues. She has a
talent for bringing communities together. Under
her leadership, senior centers and aging
programs across the state united in a way that
was very effective at building statewide
resources while remaining responsive to
individual community needs. I believe those
skills are critical to the work of a county
commissioner and will serve Michelle and the
residents of Bernalillo County well.
Representative
Gail Chasey
It has been my pleasure to work with Michelle
over many years and to observe her leadership
skills in the administration of both the aging
and health departments. She is passionate about
patient and individual rights, thoughtful about
the effects of public policy on individuals,
families and communities, ethical in all aspects
of her work and accountable for her actions and
the programs she operates. No issue is too tough
for her to take on if it’s the right thing to
do. I support her without hesitation as a
Bernalillo County Commissioner.
Representative
Danice Picraux
As a leader on both the Health and Human
Services Committee and the Appropriations
Committee, I have worked with Michelle and had
her testify before me, representing both the
Aging Department and, later, the Department of
Health – under three governors. Michelle always
has a creative idea for solving problems and is
able to effectively build bipartisan support. I
respect and trust Michelle and know she will
serve Bernalillo County residents well.
City Councilor
Debbie O’Malley
I have come to know Michelle over the last
couple years and have valued her input on a
number of issues. As a county commissioner, I
know that I will be able to count on Michelle to
come to the table with me, as a city counselor,
to work on issues of concern to city and county
residents. I look forward to having a partner
that will assist me in building bridges between
the interests of city and county government to
more effectively serve our residents. I strongly
endorse Michelle as a candidate for Bernalillo
County Commission representing District 1.
Representative Ed
Sandoval
The capital projects process developed by
Michelle for senior centers is still the model
preferred by legislators for effective capital
outlay planning and funding. Her approach was
visionary and resulted in a fair distribution of
resources. I support Michelle as county
commissioner and am glad she will be
representing me.
Angie Vachio
Michelle Lujan Grisham
will make an outstanding county commissioner for
Bernalillo County. Her high energy, deep
commitment, sound understanding of our issues,
and demonstrated ability to roll up her sleeves
and get the job done, will make her a ready
commission member to help move Bernalillo County
forward. I've known Michelle for years and have
seen what this amazing woman can accomplish for
children, seniors, families, and those with
special needs. Michelle Lujan Grisham as our
next county commissioner is good fortune for us
all.
