As an appointed member of the Los Alamos Planning Advisory
Committee, I want to express my gratitude for 3rd District Supervisor Joan
Hartmann’s eminent approachability, pragmaticism, and humble respect for her
constituents.
Joan Hartmann’s campaign runs on the same clean energy and
enthusiasm as does her platform on the environment. She works with dedication
towards the goal of creating a vibrant, sustainable community, whether on the
shores of UCSB, or in the farm-to-table Los Alamos Valley. Such an ability to
multitask between the many communities in the 3rd District doesn’t distance
Joan from her innate focus on each individual task until it has been completed
to the highest standards.
Joan’s passionate governance has created the needed base for
fiscal responsibility, individual inclusivity, and community transparency that
has played out in city and unincorporated town alike.
It’s important to see our local government representatives
want to be involved in the well-being of our communities. Joan has gone the
extra distance to engage in town halls and to help get awareness to local
organizations like the Los Alamos Business Association. I have even found
myself picking up trash with Joan in the riverbed behind my house in October!
As a 23-year-old autistic man, I wouldn’t be in public
service pursuing a Political Science degree if she hadn’t inspired me to
challenge myself and try new opportunities in my own community.
