Here are four key community issues—each paired with Sherry’s perspective—to help frame the challenges facing Alamosa County today: 

 

Healthcare Communication Strategy: Establishing a centralized advocacy program to support and inform locals as significant medical service transitions begin in January 2027. Sherry’s dedicated service on the SLV Health Regional Medical Center’s Hospital Patient and Family Advisory Council serves as the vital link to ensuring equitable, high-quality healthcare for all residents throughout the district.

 

Unified Homelessness Response: Coordinating municipal agencies, charitable organizations, and the public to develop a synergistic, long-term framework for addressing housing instability in Alamosa County.

 

Data Center Moratorium: Enacting a strategic suspension of new data center developments to allow all partners time to collaborate on a comprehensive, resident-supported growth plan for our jurisdiction.

 

Surveillance Transparency Review: Evaluating the utility, effectiveness, and civil liberty impacts of observation technologies—including traffic and public monitoring tools—via an open, community-led, and comprehensive auditing procedure.
