A Fresh Vision for Santa Fe
I am Michael Garcia, District 2 City Councilor and a proven leader, and I am running for mayor to bring transparent, inclusive governance back to Santa Fe. Frustrated by the current administration’s lack of accountability, I am committed to prioritizing residents’ needs—from affordable housing to reliable city services.

I need to collect 312 nominating petition signatures and 600 $5.00 contributions from registered voters living in Santa Fe by July 21, 2025. Please consider donating and signing my petition below:
