Marietta S. Fambro for Town of Taos

08/26/2025

Making it official! Just filed my paperwork to run for Mayor of the Town of Taos!

Today, I registered with the Bureau of Elections with Taos County Clerk Valerie Montoya. After 40+ years serving our community, I'm excited to bring my experience as Finance Director and Councilor to the Mayor's office.

What drives me: Building a stronger, safer Taos for everyone.

My focus:

Public Safety & Infrastructure - Fair funding for our fire services that protect 70% of the county, plus regional cost-sharing for water/wastewater systems that serve beyond our borders.

Youth & Community - Safe, modern recreation facilities and transparent governance that earned Taos multiple Budget Awards during my tenure as Finance Director.

I'm passionate about this community and ready to get to work. Vote Marietta for Mayor - Election Day is Tuesday, November 4th.

What issues matter most to you? Let's keep building the Taos we all deserve!

Thank you, Senator Ben Ray Luján, for coming to Taos and speaking directly with our community about the devastating Trump budget cuts.

As you heard from Taoseños tonight, Medicaid cuts will directly threaten our Holy Cross Hospital, where 50% of patients rely on Medicaid and which serves all of northern New Mexico. Statewide, 6-8 rural hospitals could close in the next two years.

The SNAP cuts will increase hunger for the 23% of New Mexicans who rely on food assistance. And our outdoor recreation economy—$3.2 billion statewide—depends on public lands that make up nearly a third of New Mexico. Federal workers who manage permits and trails are already being laid off, hurting the local businesses that depend on them.

Thank you for fighting for Taos in Washington. We need leaders who understand what's at stake.

What a wonderful weekend we just had in Taos! 🎉

Las Fiestas de Taos returned in full spirit, beginning with the beautiful Mass at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, the procession through town, the incredible food and music at Kit Carson Park, and the parades—where I was honored to take part alongside my family, friends, and supporters.

On Saturday, I walked in the children’s parade with my two daughters, Monica and Sue, and my sweet grandchildren, Beau and Theo. Then on Sunday, we joined the main parade, and it was heartwarming to see so many locals and visitors out enjoying themselves. After the challenges of COVID and road construction on Highway 68, this year’s parades felt especially meaningful.

I have such fond memories of riding the Tio Vivo as a child during Fiesta, and now, to watch my grandchildren enjoy the same tradition 50 years later, reminds me how important it is to preserve and honor what makes Taos so special.

Thank you to my family, our campaign team, and everyone who came out to celebrate our culture, history, and community. Together, we can build a future for Taos that honors our traditions while moving us forward.

So excited to see our community come together for Fiestas de Taos! As someone born and raised in Taos, I know how important these traditions are to our vibrant community.

I'll be walking in the Historical Parade next Sunday, July 27th, and I can't wait to meet and talk with fellow Taoseños along the route. This is what community is all about - celebrating our heritage, supporting our local businesses, and bringing everyone together!

Whether you're participating with a float, cheering from the sidelines, or just enjoying the festivities, let's make this parade one to remember. ¡Que Viva Las Fiestas de Taos! Looking forward to seeing you all there!

We are so excited to have both parades this year. So if you have a business that wants to put a float together, please join us. We even want Football , Basketball. Baseball teams, dance teams, and also cheer teams to all come join us. Just apply on our website. We haven't had a parade, so as a community, let's have an awesome one. Que Viva Las Fiestas de Taos...

🎬✨ "Joy is infrastructure, too."

Tonight we watched Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie at Movies on the Green. Seeing my grandchildren's faces light up reminded me why free, accessible family events matter. In Taos, families shouldn't have to choose between movie tickets and groceries.
Programs like this send a powerful message: you belong here. Every child deserves to run on the grass. Every parent deserves to exhale under our beautiful Sangre de Cristo sunset.

As mayor, I'll keep championing these community connections. Because while we talk about roads and buildings, joy is infrastructure, too. 💫

Proud to be at today's groundbreaking for Chamisa Verde Phase 1!

As someone who served 19 years as Finance Director for the Town of Taos, I know how important affordable housing is to our community's future. This project will deliver seven sustainably built homes using innovative 3D printing technology by local contractor Pangea Design Build.
With housing costs steadily outpacing local incomes, we need solutions that help Taoseños continue to live, work, and thrive in their own community. This is exactly the kind of forward-thinking approach we need more of in Taos.

Together, we're building a safer, stronger Taos for all. 🏠

Friends and neighbors of Taos,

I'm excited to officially announce my candidacy for Mayor of our beautiful town! After serving as your Town Councilor and working for Taos for over 24 years as Finance Director and grant coordinator, I'm ready to bring my experience to the mayor's office.
Taos has been my home for 63 years. I've raised my family here, run a small business, and dedicated my life to this community. I understand what our town has been, what we are now, and where we need to go.

As mayor, I'll focus on our most pressing challenges: affordable housing, upgrading our aging wastewater infrastructure, and addressing the high turnover of town staff. I'm committed to recruiting, training, and retaining qualified personnel to ensure our town services remain timely, effective, and responsive to your needs.

I've seen many mayors come and go, and many projects succeed and fail. This experience gives me the knowledge and perspective to lead Taos forward with practical solutions and a deep commitment to our community's wellbeing.

The election is November 4th, and I would be honored to have your support. Together, we can build a brighter future for the town we all love!
