About Oscar Salazar Rodríguez
Currently, I am the Chief Financial Officer for the New Mexico Finance Authority, where I help contribute to the mission of strengthening New Mexico communities by providing low-cost financing for public infrastructure and local economic development.
In this capacity, I oversee a $211 million budget and $3.5 billion in assets – the kind of skills and experience our city hall needs today.
“I’m the proud father of three beautiful young women – one who just graduated from medical school and is starting a residency in Albuquerque, one who is the mother of two beautiful granddaughters in Boston, and one who is on her way to high school in Santa Fe.
Santa Fe is my home, and I will stay here for the rest of my life.“
– Oscar
