Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) — Former Albuquerque Deputy Fire Chief and union president Eddie Varela announces his run for Mayor. The 72-year-old Republican says he wants to “reclaim Albuquerque,” with a focus on public safety, revitalizing the economy and restoring public trust in government. He joins Mayling Armijo as the only announced candidates for this year’s election. Mayor Tim Keller and one or two others are expected to announce their mayoral runs this month.
