I earned an MS in Biology from NM State University in 1976. After spending ten years in environmental science research, I held environmental compliance positions with local government agencies in the middle Rio Grande Valley for 23 years until my retirement in 2011. I was first elected to the Ciudad Soil and Water Conservation District Board of Supervisors in 2003, and have served as Chairman for fifteen of my eighteen years on the Board. In recognition of my life-long commitment to natural resources conservation, I have also been appointed to the NM Water Quality Control Commission (2003-2013), the Water Protection Advisory Board (2012-present), the Mid-Region Council of Governments Water Resources Board (2012-present) and the NM Soil and Water Conservation Commission (2014-present). My experience serving on nonprofit Boards includes the Open Space Alliance (2011-present), Environmental Education of New Mexico (2018-present), Cancer Services of New Mexico (2020-present) and the Bosque Ecological Monitoring Program (2021-present). I also joined the part-time faculty at Central New Mexico Community College in 2010 and I continue teaching classes in biology and environmental science. I'm registered as an Independent, and I tend to be progressive in my political views. I'm the proud father of three children and grandfather of five grandchildren, and I own property in northeast Albuquerque where I reside.

I'm honored and humbled to share that Bernalillo County Commissioner Charlene Pyskoty has endorsed me for Position 4 on the Ciudad Soil and Water Conservation District Board of Supervisors! Here's Commissioner Pyskoty's statement:

"It is with great confidence that I endorse Steve Glass for re-election to Position 4 of the Ciudad Soil and Water Conservation District. Steve has served with commitment, compassion, and expertise for the past 18 years. His knowledge and experience are top-notch and much needed, especially now. He has always been responsive to my constituents, especially in the East Mountains, who contend with drought, fire, and erosion issues daily. Please vote to keep Steve Glass working for us on the Ciudad SWCD!"

Sincerely,

Charlene Pyskoty, MPH, LPCC

Chair, Bernalillo County Commissioner, District 5
