Terrific news - Mayor Berry appoints Janice Arnold-Jones

Rep Janice Arnold-Jones has been appointed to fill the District 7, City Council seat recently vacated by Councilor Mike Cook.










Republican Party of Bernalillo County Chairman Frank Ruvolo issued the following statement;

"I’ve known Janice Arnold-Jones for nearly 40 years and can say with confidence Mayor Berry’s selection of her as the city councilor for District 7 is a good move for Albuquerque.

In her four terms as a state representative she was thoughtful and deliberate when deciding how to vote on legislation, always putting the people she represented before politics, a tradition I believe she will continue on city council.

She was a true representative of the people which led to her starting a Saturday morning coffee group so she could hear the concerns of her constituents. She credited the group with ‘helping’ her to decide to take a web cam to the Roundhouse; a move that made our state government far more transparent than before she took office.

Mayor Richard Berry could not have made a better choice.
