Is the City of Albuquerque Council Not Responding Because of My Campaign's Success?

Hey there Team Amber! Interestingly, City Council here has STILL not responded to my email nor has returned at LEAST 2 phone calls. This often is a sign or an indication that my Campaign here is having more than just an impact but is also on the success of hitting its climax. What do I mean? Well, given that City officials have continued to ignore my messages, concerns and refuse to return any of my unread emails, this tends to be a sign that the current administration running the city is in this phase of panic or the thought of being challenged. The very reason why they won't return any of my emails and phone calls. They know that the pressure of the midterms is coming up fast on top of Dalkia's contract Official End Date and they see these 2 things as weaknesses to many of the things that they did not do good for the city.

The City of Albuquerque under Mayor Tim Keller has been continuing to boil with frustration, the lack of responsibility, common sense being not common sense and the overall rot our city is facing. Buckle up! Because we are going to up this campaign a little more!

1. The mayor continues to make claims that he's doing "good stuff" and keeps posting tons of influencer like behavior on Facebook. Talking to many residents, attempting to take out very few families to dinners and many other things (in a very conditional manner) and also just keeps working on these Morale Projects but won't help the people, failing infrastructure, failing economy and so much more.

2. New Mexico is actually becoming well known as the "Richest State" in the United States with many based Revenue from Mostly oil and gas industry of around $66 Billion per year. (From the 2025 revenue taxation and New Mexico's Trust Fund of Land and Bureau Management). And while this massive pot of money and wealth goes directly to this Fund, it's so much money that it could cover the 78% of Homelessness in Albuquerque Alone with Housing, New Neighborhoods, Better Equality, Affordability and the list goes on. Even opportunities these communities (individually) would like. On top of this $66 Billion Dollar Wealth Wearhouse, there's tons of other revenue from Travel, International Parks/Monuments and the beauty of what the Land of Enchantment is.

3. Given this though, the current leaders of our state that currently run the economy, infrastructure, jobs, careers, land and Benefits are not appropriating these funds. (The much larger section of funds outside the TFOLB revenue). The American people are struggling regardless of who you speak to in 2026/2027. And it's obvious that whether these funds while were built on many guardrails and other things, clearly Albuquerque's Wasteland appearance is saying otherwise.

From potholes, needle filled streets, buildings falling apart from the lack of Landlord responsibilities and even now people living off grid in and around the city. These things aren't getting better according to these big, huge numbers. On top of that, stats from over 25 Billion+ Pictures of the Balloon Fiesta, nearly 1 million people (Estimate 935,000 as of the 2025 census) and a rich wealth pot. These massive, oversized stats for a city where you have to travel 100+miles a day just to run errands and getting laid off or can't work because jobs laying off communities shows an imbalance so clear, it makes Albuquerque look like as I said, a Wasteland where Communities rather join through Tribe and to overturn everything that has failed them. So, why am I bringing all of this up?

Because as the Mayor who obviously receives a portion of all of that oversized abundance but won't simply clean up the potholes, bring back our amber streetlights or even just respond to my email is an incompetent individual who clearly is behaving in very similar ways our Federal Administration is. That's because just like many politicians, Mayor Tim Keller was born under at least some sort of inheritance or past down wealth that gave him the Remote Control to the City of Albuquerque. And that's why his council and officials are refusing to return any of my messages. And with Mark Baker Founder of Soft Lights Foundation and Yang Zhou Founder of Glow Project are planning on having a visit (Most likely) with Mr. Keller and City officials. At least, with some of my private conversations and being able to see these updates. And that means that with Dalkia's Contract pretty much at its end and midterms on top of this; isn't looking like a very good combination for our officials here in Albuquerque. This is what happens to leaders when they ignore the concerns of the people and do their King wants instead. Politicians; If you don't take my campaign serious when you see this, regardless of my status or recognition, your midterms aren't looking great. You may not care and that's fine. Because we the people are also tired of having opinions of those who are measured. But remember what your legacy will look like. Because your legacy may not be measured down the long road because Karma can always find some way to make things happen. I do purify my heart of that alone!

And remember; this movement does go outside of Albuquerque New Mexico. So, if you find any of my updates, inspirational values and the way I look at leadership, then continue to support this campaign. Because as I have said before, I hand out resources for those who are willing to take that extra mile to tell, state, city and local officials their concerns on the Streetlight Crisis and the Larger Infrastructure/economic battle we face in. You can go check out my previous updates and find the resources there. I am not feeling very well. So that is why I am not posting many resources in today's update. Love you Team Amber! Let's keep up the great work!
