CNME Coop District 1 Election

04/08/2026

Saturday April 11th is quickly approaching and I would greatly appreciate it if you came out to the Estancia High School Gym on Saturday morning to vote for me between 8 AM and 10:45 AM. The support from the community has been amazing and I'm looking forward to real participation on the board once I get elected! I can't thank you enough for making the commitment to come and vote on Saturday!

I’ve had the opportunity to sit in on the last CNME Coop Board of Directors meeting held on 3-26-26 and it was an eye-opening experience. Any member of the Coop can sit in at a board meeting, and I highly suggest you do so if you are member of the Coop!

I saw two major issues that the Coop is facing. Upgrading our infrastructure to keep the grid safe and efficient and employment within the coop. We have a great pool of employees currently, but it seems that we are losing journeyman lineman when their training is done with the coop. Certain positions need to be filled in as well to keep the efficiency of the coop running. Employees are being taken off their tasks to fill areas that need help or that are lacking employees to do the specific jobs. We need to be sure that key positions can do what they have been hired for.

The infrastructure of the coop needs to be updated and that is a priority of the Coop now to get it done quickly, safely, and economically.

I also saw issues within the board. Some new members were not fully focused on the tasks at hand during the meeting. Information is presented to the board to review, and I saw members not paying attention to the information provided. Be it looking at their phones during discussions, nodding off during discussions, not looking at the info provided for the tasks at hand, and even someone participating in a separate online meeting outside of the coop board meeting.

If elected to the board, I can guarantee that I will be fully focused on the tasks at hand. There are opportunities for training and certification that are required but should not take away from being prepared for the meeting and tasks at hand. The coop reimburses the board for training that is necessary out of state, but the coop needs a board member that is also present at the board meetings locally. I can guarantee that I will be present and focused at the board meetings that are held once a month to help the coop with their prioritized needs.

Good evening to everyone that follows this page and knows me in the community. The election for the CNME Coop Board is up for re election again this year and I have thrown my hat into the race again. Talking with folks in the local community, I see some issues with this district and it looks like there needs to be a change on the horizon. The election is going to be April 11th at the Estancia High School Gym on April 11th, 2026 from 8 AM To 10:45 AM. All you need is to show up and have a meter with CNME Coop to be able to vote. Anyone with a meter can vote for me to be on the board. I know Estancia is a trek on a Saturday morning for most folks, but it is an important election. I appreciate your support and I am looking forward to the vote!

Unfortunately the election didn't turn out the way we all wanted it to. We were 27 votes shy of the win, and you can't win them all. I'm super thankful to everyone that helped share my info and to all that came out this morning to vote! Congrats to the winner of the district, and I hope he serves the Coop well. Thank you everyone again for the support and we'll make it happen next time.

**Election April 22nd, not the 23rd like I said in the video.** Regardless…
I just wanted to thank everyone for their support on my run for the CNME Coop Board of Trustees District 1. Thank you to everyone who has reached out me in person, on the phone, e-mail, text, walking into my office, and on social media. Tomorrow is the election day and I hope to see everyone there at the Estancia High School Gym from 8-10:45 AM! Please look out for me at my allowable distance from the gym and I would love to thank you in person! I heard that CNME will be providing some breakfast burittos in the AM, so come out early, cast your VOTE, and enjoy a great buritto!

Thank you to everyone for your support so far.

Thank you everyone for the page following and page shares. It really helps a lot getting this page out there with less than 30 days before the election. The official campaign poster is up and running, look for it in a local business near you. Please let me know if you think I should hang it up in specific parts of the Coop service area? Special shout out to Catherine Cunningham Hopper and Chris Hopper at Mail and Copy Business Center for help in printing out the flyers/posters. They are a great local business with excellent printing machines and mail services. Check them out.
