Santa Fe Mayor Alan Webber

Alan Webber is Santa Fe’s 43^rd Mayor and the City’s first full-time executive. He was elected in March of 2018 with 66% of the vote. 

Under Mayor Webber’s leadership, Santa Fe weathered the COVID-19 pandemic in exemplary fashion, avoiding layoffs and maintaining City services even as many employees worked remotely. This was a direct result of the modernization of City operations and the professionalization of the workforce that he had set in motion prior to the pandemic. Mayor Webber led the effort to fund the Southside Teen Center. Currently there are close to 4,000 housing units in the pipeline or completed, most of which were started during his tenure. Of these, over 700 are pledged as affordable homes for income-qualified renters and homebuyers. Now Mayor Webber is leading the comeback, as businesses open, funds flow to those in need, and Santa Fe begins to rebuild and recover by meeting the community’s immediate needs and planning for the future. The City is undertaking a Growth Management Plan that will help Santa Fe continue to evolve as an equitable, sustainable city with a unique sense of place and enviable quality of life.

Alan has been married to Frances Diemoz for over forty years. They have two children, Adam and Amanda, and two dogs, Caffe and Pico. 

Before running for Mayor, Alan built a career in business and journalism, most notably as the Editorial Director of the Harvard Business Review and Co-Founder and Co-Editor-in-Chief of Fast Company Magazine.
