Listen Later

Santa Fe County Commissioner Justin Greene on Wednesday formally announced his candidacy for the mayor of the city of Santa Fe, becoming the seventh person to enter the race to succeed Mayor Alan Webber. Greene joined Santa Fe New Mexican politics reporter Daniel J. Chacón Thursday for the latest episode of “Around the Roundhouse” in the first of a series of interviews with Santa Fe’s mayoral candidates.

Greene, who said he moved to Santa Fe after he finished college 32 years ago, discusses his background in business, architecture and development and how he feels his experiences could help him as mayor. He also shares what he feels his top achievements are 2 ½ years into his time as a county commissioner.

Chacón asks Greene to share his thoughts on Webber’s tenure in office and about what makes him stand out from the rest of the candidates who are running to succeed the two-term mayor who has announced he will not pursue another term.

In his Wednesday news conference announcing his campaign for mayor, Greene mentioned a south-side investment plan. Chacón asks Greene to speak about the plan, which Greene says would involve the creation of a south-side plaza and mercado.

Chacón also asks Greene how he’d go about creating more affordable housing in the city, what his plans would be to address homelessness, and what he feels should be done with the toppled Soldiers’ Monument on the Plaza.
