I know that people don't usually pitch here for mayoral candidates, but in this case I felt I just had to try. This candidate is THAT good.

Progressive Democrat and current city councilor Eric Griego is running an incredible grassroots campaign for Albuquerque Mayor.

Here's a link to his TV ad, which is reminiscent of early ones run by Paul Wellstone:

Griego has won the support of virtually the entire progressive community here, as well as the endorsement of DFA-Democracy for New Mexico, Conservation Voters of NM, AFSCME, UFCW, Teamsters local, the Sierra Club, ACORN and Small Business for America. Many current progressive Dem officeholders are also supporters.
