Thomas Wayne Riley for Bernalillo County Commissioner District 5

DONATE

I am not America First, I am America Only.

I will work with the other County Commissioners to clean up our city - Albuquerque could once again be a beautiful, safe city of the Southwest with the right leadership - as well as represent the wants and needs of the East Mountains.

I want to see more of my neighbors and friends succeed. Because I am an East Mountains resident, I am better able to understand and confront the unique problems my neighbors have. Our area is often overlooked by the County but I would like to reverse that.

About Me:

I was born and raised in Northern Georgia until I was 16 years old. I then lived eleven years in Oklahoma where I attended the University of Oklahoma. I graduated with Honors and on the Dean’s List in 2010 with a degree in Anthropology (Archaeology) and a minor in History. It was during this time I fell in love with New Mexico and the greater Southwest. After eight years in Wisconsin, I married my incredible wife and started searching for a home to start a family. We found that home in the East Mountains. We have a one year old son named Arlo and a big ole fluffy dog named Elvis.

I have a passion for the wilderness and conservation, I am a voracious reader and studier of history, and I’m a Christian, a husband, a Father, and a loyal friend.
