Gotta be tough to go toe-to-toe & round-for-round against the best economic leader in #ABQ history, our steady gritty leader on homelessness, the national leader on Community Safety response, & America's best police reform Mayor. But cheer up, Darren White. How bad could it be?

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

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.
