Thank you to my cousin Jodi for writing this piece about our family, our history on Santistevan Lane, and this campaign. It reminded me why I stepped forward in the first place.

We didn’t get the outcome we hoped for, but I’m proud of the work we did together and grateful for every single person who supported this effort. Earning the highest vote total a woman has ever received in a Taos mayoral race is something we shared as a community, and it tells me that Taoseños are ready for broader voices and stronger collaboration.

My commitment to Taos doesn’t end with an election. I will continue advocating for fair funding, regional solutions, and a future where our children and grandchildren can afford to stay here. That work continues, with or without a title.

Thank you, Taos. Let’s keep moving forward, together.

— Marietta

Election night, my first cousin Marietta showed Taos what true leadership looks like. Marietta’s 605-vote total marks the highest any woman has ever earned in a Taos mayoral race —

Tonight the voters chose Dan Barrone, and I congratulate him on his victory.
To everyone who believed in this campaign—thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your work mattered. The issues we fought for still matter.
I'm not a bully. I don't attack. I collaborate. I find solutions. That's who I'll continue to be.
Campaigns end, but commitment doesn't. I'm not going anywhere.
Thank you, Taos. 💙

That's the kind of mayor Taos needs.

Opened today's Taos News this morning and there's my My Turn column in print! After all these years in town government, it still feels special to share my vision for Taos this way.

I lay out what I see as our path forward: getting our firefighters and police the fair funding they deserve, creating a Taos where our kids can actually afford to stay, and finally tackling our regional challenges with regional solutions instead of asking town residents to carry the whole load.

Twenty-four years in town government taught me how to turn plans into action. I want Beau and Theo - and all our grandchildren - to have the Taos childhood I had, with a real future here.

Election Day is November 4. Read the full piece at https://www.taosnews.com/opinion/my-turn/keep-taos-moving-forward/article_a38f333e-12dc-5dbd-8f66-01fd89308536.html
