¡Todos Para Tim! Launches to Support Tim Keller for State Senate

From Keller for State Senate:
Calling for change, local elected officials and neighborhood leaders will launch ¡Todos Para Tim! in support of Tim Keller's candidacy for State Senate in District 17. City Councilor Rey Garduño, whose council district makes up part of Senate District 17, will host the kick-off event.

¡Todos Para Tim! launch will take place on Thursday, May 8, at the home of Rey and Ilsa Garduño, 414 Vassar NE, from 5:30-7:30 PM. Please call 332-9441 for more information. Please see this FLYER for a complete list of the ¡Todos Para Tim! steering committee.

"The support for my campaign is as diverse as my district—and I'm proud of that. We're gaining momentum largely in part because more people are coming forward to say it's time for change. I'm grateful to have the support of well respected Democrats and neighborhood leaders," says Tim.

Local leaders have this to say:

• Richard Romero, Former State Senator and Pro Tem: "We need to send a true Democrat like Tim to the Roundhouse. I know where Tim stands—he's ethical and competent."
• Rey Garduño, Albuquerque City Councilor, District 6: "I look forward to working with Tim to bring much needed jobs and economic investment to the SE Heights."
• Jerry Ortiz y Pino, State Senate, District 12: "I'll be able to work with him up at the Legislature to pass bills that helps those who need it most—our children and families."

Neighborhood leaders who support Tim include:

• Nancy Bearce, District 6 Neighborhood Coalition President
• Joanne Landry, Trumbull Neighborhood Association President
• Enrique Cardiel, South San Pedro Neighborhood Leader
• Idalia Lechuga-Teña, La Mesa Neighborhood Leader

The SE Heights is one of the most ethnically diverse districts in New Mexico. "The district's diversity is an enormous community asset and with the right leadership, it can be the cornerstone of a vibrant local economy and a cultural destination for our state," says Tim.

Tim Keller is challenging Shannon Robinson for the District 17 State Senate seat in the Democratic Primary in June. Keller has been endorsed by Albuquerque Area Firefighters, Democracy for New Mexico and Conservation Voters New Mexico (CVNM) and Progressive Action New Mexico.
