The Voice Of New Mexico, a new non-profit organization, has a vision of looking out for the people of the Enchanted State, keeping their best interests in minds, and even going so far as to putting money back into their pockets.  Too often do we pay taxes that are distributed unfairly and unethically, and it is about time to start making things happen for the other 99% of the people and no longer for the rich and powerful.  Our goal is to represent everyone through a fundraising that realigns our priorities and creates projects that benefit the people who need it the most.  We must rally our voices collectively so that we have the power again.  This power will fuel the city, feed the hungry, and reestablish our economy.  We believe through this organization that we can put money back in the pockets of the 99%, fight political corruption, and fight the exploitation of our people.  It is time to redraw the lines between the poor, the rich, and the disappearing middle class. This organization is dedicated to the people of New Mexico.  This is our state.  Our voices will be heard!

City Counselor Klarissa Pena is one of the Duke City’s best public officials.  Amidst the controversy of the Albuquerque Rapid Transit project, which many citizens disagree with, she was one of two city counselors who chose to represent the people and voted NO on A.R.T.  She saw through the plans that will essentially and negatively affect local business owners, especially along Central Avenue and our historic and beloved Nob Hill district, and voted NO.  The Duke City Times has endorsed Klarissa Pena and ask that you give her your support in the coming election as she is a true voice for the people of our great city.

How can Latinos can improve their political power in New Mexico?  De la Cruz has some insight on the matter.  He is the Country Commissioner for Bernalillo County, the most populated county in New Mexico.  De La Cruz is well known and admired throughout the Duke City and is one of our favorite public officials.

While at the “No Trump In America” rally, an organized protest during Donald Trump’s visit to New Mexico, Duke City Times publisher Stephen Judy was interviewed by a reporter for Alex Jones’ radio show and news website INFOWARS.  Judy spoke about the gross injustices that are happening in American politics and how they affect our community and the rest of the country.  Much of our aggression has been focused on Trump mainly because of his unending racial comments and his mannerism similar to those part of an oligarchy.  When the video was published, Judy was surprised to see himself labeled as a “Local Socialist Reporter” and has since then stated that it doesn’t bother him but he would like to make it known that he does not consider himself as such.  Instead he views himself as an independent reporter that truly cares about the overall well being of the American people and what is in the overall best interests for the people in his hometown of Albuquerque.

In his statement to Duke City Times reporter Josh Foster he commented, “It’s funny they labeled me like that.  Maybe it was just the environment, the context that I was reporting on, and the rioting… I wanted to make known the injustices being done.  I wish that the reporter would change the title, but all in all it doesn’t matter.  I know who I am, I fight to be the voice of my people and they know that…that’s all that matters.”

Edmund “Ed” Perea Knows the Streets Of Albuquerque,As a Gang task force officer,Unit Supervisor,Graduate of The FBI national Academy and assistant Prosecutor for the 13th Judicial District,if anyone know how to reduce crime and bring balance to the DA’s Office,Its Ed Perea. Bernalillo County needs a well rounded District Attorney that can honorably bridge the gap between the scandal ridden Albuquerque Police Department and a questionable District attorney’s office;Ed Perea is that man.

Ed Perea is a former APD officer, that has worked  as a Unit supervisor as well as a member of the hardened APD Gang Task-force,Not only has he risen from the ranks But he is also an attorney and someone who knows the city well,not just another pencil pusher in a suit.The challenge for Mr.Perea will be if he can make Un-biased decisions regarding  the public,the DA’s Office,and the Albuquerque Police Department.If He is successful,Albuquerque Has the Best Candidate for the Office.A candidate that knows the streets,the Law, and the issues that challenge our community.

Right now the City is at war,crime is high so is corruption,families are caught in the middle,leaving them embittered at police doing there job,people breaking the law,and corruption fueling a viscous cycle;It would take a special person to break this cycle and bring organization to the county.

The Duke City Times is proud of being the Voice of the People.We only select The very Best.We feel that if Ed Perea can overcome the political infighting between APD and the DA’s Office,and Bring in balance,leadership and stability,then he is by far the best candidate for the Job and would do wonders for our Beloved Duke City,therefore, we gladly Endorse Mr.Perea As our Next Bernalillo County District Attorney and wish him all the best in his campaign!

“Ed Perea is the only  candidate the can bring true Leadership and Balance Between APD and the District Attorney’s office,thus unifying the agencies and make our community safer. ”

The proposed “Rapid transit” plan for Albuquerques Central Corridor is a complete Joke and could hurt the Cities economy even more,Here’s Why:

1.Its not a real light rail or mono rail system,It’s just a bus with covered wheels,it doesn’t even go under intersections so it will stop at every street just like a regular bus.

2.who’s doing the landscaping ,construction,i’ll bet you its family or friends of local politicians.

3. The central corridor thrives off of automobile traffic,I could see how the plan would work it there was another light rail train connecting Rio rancho and central,but just central alone will actually hurt businesses by reducing customer automobile traffic.

The “fake light rail” plan is just another scheme for city politicians to milk the people,its not a real light rail,it doesn’t doesn’t direct customers from other areas to the central corridor and its not a good plan,if it connected urban neighborhoods better and was a real light rail yes,and if we could have the people build it not the families of politicians yes,but as it stand now,NO! It will hurt business mark my words,and then they’ll change it again to hurt your business and steal from the people again,vote NO on “Fake light rail”!

The proposed A.R.T rapid transit plan that would make central only one lane in both directions is a Joke! Instead of having a real light rail or monorail train system,the plan calls for a tacky bus…
