Supporters Praise Dinelli’s Proven Record of Accomplishment & Leadership
ALBUQUERQUE – Today, Albuquerque Mayoral Candidate Pete Dinelli announced the endorsements of dozens of public, civic and community leaders for his candidacy.
“I am humbled by the incredible outpouring of support for my vision of Albuquerque’s future,” said Dinelli. “Together, we will continue to build a strong grassroots organization and majority coalition that will take back City Hall and put an end to the petty partisan politics and crises of confidence that have plagued the Berry administration.”
Dinelli has assembled an incredibly broad coalition that includes current and former elected officials, public safety officials and community activists.
“Pete Dinelli has a proven track-record of moving Albuquerque forward and delivering the strong results our families need,” noted State Auditor Hector Balderas.
State Senator Michael Padilla said, “Pete Dinelli will provide leadership for our economy, our safety and our future,” and Representative Christine Trujillo remarked, “I support Pete Dinelli because he will be inclusive of labor as he moves forward in his work with our community as our Mayor. He supports collective bargaining and that’s important to me.”
Dinelli added, “My campaign is focused on moving Albuquerque forward by creating good-paying, long-lasting jobs here at home, ensuring a top-notch education for our children and building world-class public safety departments. I am excited and energized by the potential of Albuquerque, and look forward to discussing these issues with voters all across the city.”
