FOR MAYOR
Sheriff To Make Fighting Crime Top Priority
ALBUQUERQUE: Sheriff Manny Gonzales officially today
announced his candidacy for Mayor of Albuquerque. In an
announcement video, Gonzales described his deep Albuquerque
roots and lifelong commitment to public service, beginning when
he joined the Marine Corps right out of high school. He said he’s
running for Mayor to make fighting crime a top priority, along with
creating jobs and improving our quality of life.
“Almost four years ago, Tim Keller ran for mayor promising to
solve Albuquerque’s crime problem, add 400 officers, and to not
make any excuses. Unfortunately, he has failed – Albuquerque’s
violent crime rate is nearly four times the national average and
just last week we learned that the homicide rate is doubling,” said
Gonzales.
