Hi Los Alamos, my name is Andy McBride; I am the newest reporter at the Los Alamos Daily Post. Other team members of the Post including Carol Clark, my mentor John McHale as well as Kirsten Laskey have helped me in ways that I could never imagine.
Now we have this election underway for the 2024 Los Alamos Chamber Business Awards. We qualify for the Woman-Owned Business of the Year Award and the Retail Business of the Year Award out of the eight possible categories listed.
