Brian Colón
Announces
Campaign
for State
Auditor
Colón: “I am
running for State
Auditor because
like so many New
Mexicans I am fed
up and not willing
to sit on the
sidelines.”

Albuquerque, NM – This
afternoon, Brian Colón
announced he is
running for New Mexico
State Auditor to hold
government agencies
and officials
accountable, fight for
educators and
students, and improve
public safety in New
Mexico’s diverse
communities. Brian
earned his
undergraduate degree
in Finance at New
Mexico State
University in Las
Cruces and then
graduated from the
University of New
Mexico’s School of Law.
Brian went to
elementary school in
Albuquerque, grew up
in rural Valencia
County, lived in Las
Cruces for ten years
where he met his wife
and his son was born.
Currently, Brian lives
and works in
Albuquerque. Brian’s
wife, Aleli, has been a
public school teacher
for 17 years in New
Mexico and their son,
Rafael, attended public
school in New Mexico
and is now on a
Presidential
Scholarship attending
George Washington
University.
“I am running for State
Auditor because like so
many New Mexicans I
am fed up and not
willing to sit on the
sidelines,” said Brian
Colón. “I am focused on
ensuring New Mexico’s
tax dollars are going to
the right places – to
hire more police
officers, properly fund
our courts, pay better
wages to our teachers
and educational
assistants, and
empower New Mexico
students to succeed.
My finance background
and legal expertise
make me the right
person for the job, and
that job is to hold the
powerful accountable
and make New Mexico
a safer and more
prosperous place by
fighting waste, fraud
and abuse every day.”
