From the :
Yesterday Brian Egolf officially filed his Declaration of Candidacy for State Representative – District 47, an open seat being vacated by Rep. Peter Wirth. Seven hundred fifty voters signed a petition to nominate Brian for State Representative, nearly nine times the eighty-six signatures required. Voters from every precinct signed Brian’s petition. Brian will have no primary opponent or Republican challenger for the seat.

Brian said, “I am extremely grateful to all the voters who have signed my nominating petition. The support I have received from people throughout the district has been, and continues to be, extremely humbling. I am looking forward to the campaign ahead and to my favorite part of campaigning: meeting voters at their front doors to talk about a shared vision for a sustainable future in Santa Fe.”

The signatures filed today represent the result of the efforts of over fifty volunteers who spent more than one hundred twenty hours walking door-to-door over the past four weekends, who circulated nominating petitions on their own in their neighborhoods and places of work, and who hosted house parties in Santa Fe and Eldorado in support of Brian’s candidacy.

Brian Egolf is a Santa Fe water lawyer with his own private practice. He is married to Kelly, and they have a three month-old daughter, Cameron Elizabeth. Brian is running because he wants his children to be able to raise their families in Santa Fe. He is committed to a sustainable future for Santa Fe.
