Garduño Qualifies for ABQ City Council Ballot in Record Time

From Rey Garduño for City Council:
Rey Garduño has collected the necessary petition signatures to officially appear on the ballot for District 6 City Council in record time. Thursday, July 12th, was the first day to file nominating petitions with the City Clerk. Garduño's campaign got word late Monday, July 16, that they had met and exceeded the qualifying mark of 544. In response to the news, Garduño replied, "It's a great day in the neighborhood!  This is a testament to the strong grassroots community support that this campaign has brought out in our neighborhoods. The number of volunteers that went door-to-door in their own neighborhoods is what made the difference.  We're looking forward to continuing the conversation with the people of District 6," said Garduño.

In the talks at people's homes, the issues are clear:

• strengthening our public transportation system that will address our traffic problems;
• sustainable community-led development; and
• accountable social services that truly reach our elders, children and young families.

Garduño plans on walking every neighborhood in the District between now and the municipal election on October 2nd, and looks forward to meeting you!  You can contact Garduño at reygarduno@gmail.com or 266-4424.
