The Los Alamos Chamber of Commerce invited County Council candidates to participate in a forum directed at local businesses. This was my favorite forum because business — especially local and small business — is one of my favorite political subjects. In my opinion, one of the biggest, most fixable problems for small business in Los Alamos is how the local government favors big out-of-town business over small, local ones. That is one of the main reasons I’m running for County Council.
