Colón Announces Campaign Co-Chairs

Brian S. Colón, candidate for lieutenant governor, today announced his campaign co-chairs. Ambassador Edward Romero, Ladonna Harris, and Lenton Malry will serve as advisors and co-chairs. Colón is building a state wide campaign organization and will soon announce his Colón Captains in all 33 counties.

Ambassador Romero served during the Clinton administration as Ambassador to Spain. Ambassador Romero lives in Albuquerque and is active in a number of civic and philanthropic organizations.

"Brian Colón is a New Mexico success story and I am confident he will take his life experiences to help New Mexicans live the American dream. I am honored to serve as a co-chair on his campaign because I believe that Brian will be the perfect partner to Diane Denish to get New Mexico moving again," Romero said.

Ladonna Harris is the president and founder of Americans for Indian Opportunity. She is a national leader on Native American issues and lives in Albuquerque.

"I'm for Brian Colón because he's an inclusive leader. He listens to people with diverse perspectives. He includes and empowers people to help solve their own problems. I support him because that's the kind of leader we need in the Lt. Governor's office," Harris said.

Lenton Malry is a former State Representative and Bernalillo County Commissioner. Malry has had a long and distinguished career as a public servant spanning more than 40 years.

"Whether it was fighting for full-day kindergarten in the legislature or working as a Principal in the Albuquerque Public Schools, I have long believed that the future of New Mexico is our public schools. I am proud to support Brian because I know that he will, as our next Lieutenant Governor,
wake up every day fighting for our schools so that his son and all of New Mexico's children will receive the best education possible," Malry said.
