Runoff – December 9, 2025

The results are in, and our endorsed candidates are moving forward. Mayor Tim Keller and City Councilor Klarissa Pena have both advanced to the December 9 runoff election. This is an important moment for working families across Albuquerque. Our community deserves leaders who understand the importance of strong apprenticeship programs, fair wages, and the dignity of skilled work. These candidates have shown again and again that they stand with labor, and they stand with us.

Mayor Keller has been a consistent supporter of union workers and strong public investment. His leadership has helped strengthen the local economy, protect jobs, and prioritize a future where working people are respected. Klarissa Pena has been a steady voice for her district, championing neighborhood safety, economic opportunity, and partnerships that help workers succeed. Both candidates understand that our city thrives when families thrive.

As we look toward the runoff, the work is not finished. Elections are decided by those who show up, and this is our chance to help shape the future of Albuquerque. When we support candidates who share our values, we invest in a city that honors the contributions of skilled tradespeople and protects the pathways that build strong careers.
