The 2025 local election will be non-partisan. The candidates are running for School Board
Districts 1 and 2, UNM-LA Advisory Board (vote for three), and Mirador PID (vote for three). The
League will post information and responses to questions on vote411.org and will publish a Voter
Guide in the Los Alamos Daily Post on October 2. We will also hold a candidate forum on Monday,
October 6 at Pinon Elementary School in White Rock from 7 - 9 PM.

School Board

For the 2025 election, only the White Rock area, Royal Crest, and some sections of Eastern Area in the Townsite will vote for Districts 1 and 2. School Board members, as per New Mexico law, represent a particular school; however, because in New Mexico our School Boards are districted according to population and not necessarily according to the school your child attends, voting for the Board is a little confusing. For example, Elk Park, DP Road, East Road, and residents on Trinity along with a smattering of homes north of Canyon Road, will vote for District 1, Piñon School in White Rock even though the Townsite students go to Aspen. (Please check the District Map below.)

Although New Mexico law restricts the School Board’s powers and duties to only five areas—developing policies, hiring and supervising the superintendent, reviewing and approving the budget, managing property, suing and being sued—each of these duties requires the commitment to use these mandates for the benefit of the entire community, including that of our out-of-district students.

Two candidates have filed for District 1: Stephanie Ann Galvez, and Margie Serrato. Three candidates are competing to represent District 2: Tamara L. Hinckley, Antonio Ray Jaurigue, and Jasmine Stephens.

Whether you have a student in Los Alamos schools or not, this community values education. By learning the candidates’ positions, then voting for education that supports our values, we can take this critical action to ensure the future of our students, families, and community.

Registered voters in Los Alamos can vote for three UNMLA Advisory Board members who are elected at large to represent the community. Their role is to “serve as an advisory body to the UNM Board of Regents on matters related to the UNMLA branch campus. They provide input on the branch's priorities, act as a sounding board for the Chancellor, approve the annual budget, and assist in approving and certifying the tax levy to Los Alamos County and calling elections for both tax levies and Advisory Board position.” The four candidates (listed alphabetically) who have filed for the three positions are: Bryan Fearey, David Hampton, Conner Tharp, and Andrew Wright.
