Albuquerque citizen who is super-enthused about what Mayor Tim Keller has achieved in 8 years and will achieve in the next 4 years if we put him back in to keep leading Albuquerque's comeback. #ABQ #Burque

Darren White is back, taking on our Reform Mayor
Tim Keller here in Albuquerque. Remember the Darren White Era of policing? How he kicked off 5 years of unjustified use of force, shootings and killings? And how we responded in '14 w/ the 2nd largest protest in #ABQ - 1,000 strong - since the 1960s:

Darren White respects veterans? Hardly. In 2005, Sheriff White charged 29 y.o. USAF vet Jason Kerns with a crime he later cleared Kerns of. Then White called a friend at the VA and got hold of Kerns' psychiatric records! His abuse of power against this veteran was 100% illegal and unconstitutional!

Incredible to hear Darren White brag that yes he did tell our #ABQ police in 2010 to "take the gloves off" against not only the homeless but the volunteers feeding the homeless! The guy clearly would love to do it again every day for the next 4 years. Kinda of a sick and twisted mofo, ain't he?

Debate only a half-hour. (Lame, KOB TV.) But @mayorkeller.bsky.social contrasted his strong, hardworking leadership and effective approaches like ACS and Gateway to
Darren White's legacy of failure, esp. all those unjustified police shootings that cost #ABQ taxpayers $130 million. Tim Keller wins!

2017: We elected Tim Keller Mayor first & foremost to reform our police dept. after years of lawless violence against us.
2025: In the 8 years since Tim Keller took office as our Mayor, no unarmed person has been shot by a police officer. Not one.
Maybe that leadership challenge grayed him a bit.

Nate’s story shows how recovery and second chances go hand in hand. After staying at Gateway Recovery, he joined Better Way Forward, became a Duke City Ambassador, and is now rebuilding his life. Real progress happens when we work together as one Albuquerque.

Crime is moving in the right direction in Albuquerque. Since 2018, violent crime is down 26% and property crime is down 33%. This progress comes from years of focused work, modern policing, and community partnerships. Real work, real progress for our city.

When he was overseeing APD in 2010 and 2011, Darren White told our police officers to "take the gloves off" when dealing with the homeless. They not only arrested far too many homeless people; they arrested the volunteers who were feeding them. Never again, Albuquerque, never again.

840 people will move into 240 affordable apartments at Tierra Linda next June. 448 people will move into new homes at West Mesa Ridge. And about 140 people will move into affordable apartments in the old Wells Fargo Bldg. around early 2027. That’s leadership. That’s @mayorkeller.bsky.social. #ABQ

When Darren White led APD, 33% of force used by police was unjustified. @mayorkeller.bsky.social has brought out-of-policy use of force down to 3.7%. White promises to unshackle the police again. Next 4 years, that'd be 1,000 unjustified uses of police force instead of 100. Choose wisely, Burque.

Immediately upon Darren White assuming leadership of APD in 2009, the 5 worst years in APD history began -- more than 5 years of unjustified use of force. At least 25% of the 1,900 use-of-force actions by our police officers from 2009 to early 2014 were found by DoJ to be unjustified.

From 2009 to 2011, Darren White did nothing to reform APD police culture, conduct, policies, supervision, or oversight. This led to $60 million in lawsuit payouts and $40 million in DoJ Consent Decree compliance costs - a staggering $100 million billed to and paid for by Albuquerque taxpayers.

This is Day One Darren on Day Two. Darren White's promise to end homelessness on Day One is the biggest insult ever hurled against the voters of #Albuquerque. On Day One he'll put 200 homeless in a jail cell (that's all we've got vacant). On Day Two he'll wonder what he can do with the other 4,800.
