In ABQ, LGBTQ+ rights are human rights. When I took office our equality score was a B. Today it’s 100% A+. We expanded protections, updated our human rights ordinance, added APD training and liaisons, and stood with our trans community. Progress we’re proud of.

Big wins for ABQ builders. We cut permit waits, cleared backlogs, and sped up inspections. Residential reviews went from 112 to 15 days, commercial from 121 to 37. Inspections now in 1 day, licenses in 2. Starting Oct 1, Express Permitting will make it even faster.

Albuquerque just opened New Mexico’s first Trauma Recovery Center, focused on healing, safety, and support. It brings therapy, outreach, peer support, and resources all under one roof so survivors don’t face trauma alone. A promise to make recovery accessible and rooted in trust.

Lobos y Lowriders cruised onto campus yesterday, low and slow 🛞

Yesterday we opened the Southwest Safety Center, the first of its kind in Albuquerque. APD, AFR, and ACS are now working together under one roof on the west side. This 21,000 sq ft center will cut response times, add resources, and keep families safe.

@unmfootball I’m free Saturday if you need someone to throw a pig skin over those mountains.

Albuquerque and Las Cruces have a friendly wager on the big game. The losing city will fly the winner’s flag at City Hall Monday. The Rio Grande Rivalry is about pride, tradition, and community. We’ll see you Saturday.

Today we launched Uptown Connect, transforming an underutilized Uptown Transit Center lot into a vibrant plaza with 200+ affordable homes. Led by ABQ RIDE with partners, this project connects residents to housing, transit, and opportunity. More in bio.

As part of our Affordable ABQ plan, the CABQ Supper Meal Program serves hot, homecooked-style meals with local ingredients at 29 sites, about 7,000 each week. Kids still get meals during Fall, Winter, and Spring Breaks so families can count on support.

We’re expanding the School-Based Violence Intervention Program to Del Norte High, the 4th ABQ school with full-time mentors on campus. SBVIP boosts graduation, GPAs, and reduces suspensions by connecting youth to support, safety, and opportunity. www.cabq.gov/acs/vip/sbvip

We marked a major milestone with the opening of Touro Dental College, New Mexico’s first world-class dental training facility. It will expand access to affordable care, address our dental shortage, and create career opportunities for young people. A project to smile about.

This weekend we celebrated the first graduating class of the NextGen program. As part of the Semilla project, NextGen provides hands-on training for young people in climate resilient careers like restoring natural spaces, energy innovation, and more. Congrats to our graduates!

On August 18, the #ABQ City Council approved the request by @mayorkeller.bsky.social for $2 million to start turning the 10-story north tower at San Mateo & Central into affordable housing. The 17-story south tower will follow later. If we reelect him, Tim Keller will complete this awesome project.

Political violence has no place in our country. The tragic death of Charlie Kirk is a reminder to recommit to our shared values, respect, and democracy.

We launched Affordable ABQ to help families save money and thrive. From free meals to frozen fees on family programs to more access to fresh local food, we are easing the burden of rising costs. Learn more: www.cabq.gov/affordable-a...

The economy of #ABQ grew by 37.8% in the first 6 years of Marty Chavez's second & third terms as Mayor, 5.3% during Richard Berry's first 6 years, & 41.8% during the first 6 years w/ @mayorkeller.bsky.social as Mayor. Tim Keller is the best economic leader of #Burque in the 21st Century. #DukeCity

Candidates for Mayor are bashing #ABQ youth & proposing draconian actions like curfews against our teens. But #Burque has the lowest juvenile crime rate in our 10-city region. And about half the rate of Colorado Springs, Denver & Tucson. #DukeCity #ABQpolitics #NMpolitics #NMDems

Happy 80th to former Mayor Jim Baca! From bringing the Isotopes and building their park to elevating the Balloon Fiesta, transforming the ABQ Museum, and championing sustainability, his leadership left a lasting mark on our city.

This is the Rail Trail that @mayorkeller.bsky.social has begun construction on. A 7-mile loop from Downtown to Old Town to the South Valley and back again. It will be a spectacular addition to our lives. Let's put Tim Keller in for a third term so he can bring this to fruition. #ABQ #Burque

Property crime skyrocketed in Mayor Barry's 2nd term, plummeted in the 1st term of @mayorkeller.bsky.social, and the last 5 years w/ Keller as Mayor have given us the 5 years w/ the lowest property crime numbers and rates of the 21st Century. #ABQ #Burque #albuquerque #abqpolitics #dukecity

I want to show you what the CNM - UNM South Campus area will look like as a result of the farsighted decisions of @mayorkeller.bsky.social and his CAO Samantha Sengel. Take a look. Let's put Tim Keller in for a third term so he can bring this to fruition. #ABQ #Burque

#ABQ homelessness: @alexforabq.bsky.social promises "homelessness without sweeps" while Darren White promises to "unshackle the police." Betw. these 2 extremes @mayorkeller.bsky.social has boosted homeless services 7-fold from $3.6 m. to $25 m. while conducting abt 16,000 sweeps. Keller is right.

Avg. salaries & wages are up $9 per hr in 8 yrs w/ @mayorkeller.bsky.social, to $31. He moved #ABQ City workers to a $15 per hr minimum wage. And his goal is to take all #Burque workers to a $15 minimum in his 2nd term, a $700 per month boost in pay for each of us. We all win w/ Tim Keller as Mayor.

Worth remembering this Labor Day that @mayorkeller.bsky.social is endorsed by the great, iconic labor leader Dolores Huerta.

Thank you, Albuquerque. Our city is resilient, our comeback is real, and together we are building a future that is safer, stronger, and full of opportunity. #ABQSOTC

Quantum is our once-in-a-generation chance to create the careers that keep our kids here in Albuquerque. Just like Sandia Labs transformed our past, Quantum will shape our future. #ABQSOTC

We are investing in our kids. Violence intervention programs are cutting future crimes by 80 percent. APS career academies are preparing students for the jobs Albuquerque needs most. #ABQSOTC

From swim lessons to zoo tickets to restaurant permits, we are freezing city fees to keep costs down for Albuquerque families. We are also connecting local growers directly to families in food deserts. #ABQSOTC

The Gateway Network now connects more than 1,000 people every day to housing, treatment, and care. We have built 2,500 affordable homes and turned hotels into housing. #ABQSOTC

Our Albuquerque Community Safety Department has already answered 120,000 calls, helping police and fire stay focused where they’re needed most. #ABQSOTC

For the first time in a decade, crime is down across the board. Gun violence will not go unanswered in Albuquerque. Ninety-five percent of offenders are caught. #ABQSOTC

No matter who is in the White House, I will always stand up for Albuquerque. We protect our people with actions, not just words. #ABQSOTC

One week ago I delivered Albuquerque’s State of the City. Here are the key highlights on how we’re defending our values, tackling challenges head-on, and building a stronger future for our community. #ABQSOTC

Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller touted the city's milestones under his administration and charted a path forward — should he be elected to a third term in November.

A happy 52nd birthday to #ABQ painter Ryan Singer, the best Indigenous Futurism painter in the world. Playfully reclaiming the continuous presence of the #Dine people in humanity's future. Who but Ryan would place R2-D2 and C-3PO at Window Rock? Happy birthday, Ryan! #Burque @mayorkeller.bsky.social

#ABQ Mayor Tim Keller just had an epic day! The #quantum company Roadrunner gets $25m for Downtown expansion. Following Quantinuum near the Balloon Fiesta. And he's using $23m fm @GovMLG to move 1,000 homeless into apts. & beds over the next year. @mayorkeller.bsky.social, you're on a roll! #Burque

A few years ago we kicked off Housing Forward, building 2,400+ homes and turning empty hotels into housing. Now we’re launching Housing Now, with tenant protections, home preservation, and smarter zoning so more Albuquerque residents have a safe, affordable place to call home.

Gutting the Department of Education means fewer teachers, crowded classrooms, and fewer resources for our kids. As a parent, I can’t accept that. I joined Albuquerque Teachers Federation and @aftunion.bsky.social to fight for the resources our schools need—our kids’ future is non-negotiable.

Mark Chavez’s incredible artwork will be transforming Coronado Park as we await funding to help revitalize this downtown neighborhood. Excited for what’s ahead! www.kob.com/new-mexico/a...

Downtown Albuquerque needs a stronger academic presence to drive growth. We’re partnering with UNM to explore expanding the Lobo footprint, creating a hub for education, innovation, and opportunity. Cities nationwide have seen universities spark revitalization—now it’s our turn. #OneAlbuquerque

Last week, we recognized the amazing Sunport Ambassadors who make Albuquerque one of the most welcoming airports. From guiding travelers to offering a warm smile, they enhance the experience for thousands. Thank you, ambassadors, for helping set the tone for every visitor’s experience in our city.

Winter can be tough for our unhoused neighbors, but thanks to people like Abran Aragon and Albuquerque Community Safety, many are getting the warmth they need.Their kindness and dedication bring hope and warmth to those who need it most www.kob.com/new-mexico/a...

I am saddened by Dr. Harold Bailey’s passing, a leader in the Black community and head of the NAACP for well over a decade. Throughout the years, his advice and insight were invaluable to me and so many in our community. His legacy will not be forgotten.

The Loma Verde Motel on Central had 150+ service calls in 2024, including 2 homicides. Inspections revealed serious safety hazards and crime, so the City shut it down to protect public safety. Struggling property owners, visit the link in bio for support. @cabqacs.bsky.social @abqpolice.bsky.social

Albuquerque is with those affected by the catastrophic CA fires. Our Albuquerque Fire Rescue team will join fire departments from NM to assist with firefighting in LA. Our thoughts and prayers go to Los Angeles, and we remain committed to helping however we can.
