She is looking forward to joining a dedicated team under the leadership of the county commissioners, emphasizing the honor it is to serve in this capacity.
As Bernalillo County manager, Chavez will oversee crucial operations like health services, housing, and public works for a community of 672,000 people, including Albuquerque, the state's largest city.
Chavez has a long political career in Silicon Valley, having served as a Santa Clara County Supervisor since 2013 and on the San Jose City Council prior, with significant involvement in local labor efforts.
Despite her extensive experience in politics, Chavez faced challenges, including an unsuccessful run for the San Jose mayoral seat and an earlier attempt for a role in San Diego this year.
