Sam LeDoux is not a stranger to Espanola and he definitely is not a stranger to politics. Born and raised in the Valley, a graduate of Pojoaque High school. Sam was a voice since early childhood where his advocacy began in the cafeteria room as he highlighted the dedication of the cafeteria staff. This is where Sam's heart embarked on many adventures through running campaigns and working for many major political figures through The United States. Sam came home to bring his knowledge and talents to his very home, Espanola.

Today Sam challenges the hardest politics in our very community as he takes on the hardest topics of the unhoused, the drug fentanyl epidemic that has devastated and swept through our valley.

Sam does not take lightly to any challenge, as his experience has taught him "hard ball" and diplomacy.

A regular figure through social media, and city council, Mr. LeDoux has listened to countless voices through the valley to bring light and validation to many.

I was very happy to sit with Sam and reassured that we have such a powerful representative that carries the love of Espanola close to his own heart and is willing to fight for the good of Espanola and potential growth we so need today.
