Los Alamos is a special place, where three elements come together: a high powered and unique scientific research laboratory, a truly beautiful and spectacular natural environment, and a wholesome small town atmosphere. Vincent has the energy, determination, commitment and ideas to ensure that Los Alamos remains a special place. Vincent's priorities include:
Looking carefully and critically at public spending to ensure that our county government lives within its means.
Bringing more high paying research jobs into the community, jobs that are less dependent on the laboratory.
Promoting Los Alamos County as a gateway to nature and a premier destination for outdoor activities.
Attracting more students into our community who will take advantage of opportunities for higher education in Los Alamos County and who will expand the workforce for our existing small businesses and restaurants.
Helping to expand retail choices, encompassing goods and services that are not currently available, so that we keep more of our money within Los Alamos County.
Vincent believes that our investments and our policies should be strongly focused on augmenting our image and encouraging people to come to Los Alamos County. Vincent believes that this is one of the most important things that we need to do in order to better promote our existing small businesses and retail stores. Los Alamos is already well known as the County where discoveries are made. Vincent would like Los Alamos County to be known also as a gateway to nature's wonders, a place where people want to come to enjoy our spectacular natural environment including our parks, trails, ski hill, and golf course.
One of the most important tasks of a public official is to look carefully and critically at public spending. Vincent believes that we need to make investments in Los Alamos County both on the Hill and in White Rock, and in doing so we must adopt the most efficient management for our capital projects. It is essential that we have an accurate representation of the cost up front and that we hold the line on capital spending. We shouldn't try to do everything all at once and our large projects should be undertaken in an incremental way that is coordinated with the school district's capital improvement plan, so that no additional taxes are imposed on our citizens.
