Elisa will be writing her own blog, Balder and Dash, which you can find online at <a href=\"http:\/\/nmpolitics.net\/balder-and-dash\">nmpolitics.net\/balder-and-dash<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m excited to announce Elisa\u2019s new blog. I\u2019ve been working for months to expand the diversity of voices on this site. Commentaries from regular and guest writers now appear almost daily. Adding individual blogs is the next step in that expansion.<\/p>\n<p>Some larger news Web sites like the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wp-srv\/politics\/politics_columnists.html?nid=roll_politicsblogs\">Washington Post<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.texastribune.org\/blogs\/\">Texas Tribune<\/a> have bloggers who run their own pages within their news organizations\u2019 Web sites and develop their own followings. That\u2019s the vision here. Elisa is the first, but look for the introduction of additional bloggers on NMPolitics.net in the coming weeks and months.<\/p>\n<p>Elisa is a graduate of the\u00a0United World College\u00a0of\u00a0Hong Kong\u00a0and of\u00a0New York University. She helped launch Thrive, a personal financial advisory software program that was purchased by\u00a0LendingTree\u00a0in 2009.\u00a0She now works for\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/churnless.com\/\">Churnless.com<\/a>, a\u00a0start-up consulting firm, and Energy Concepts, a\u00a0New Mexico-based solar and wind systems company.<\/p>\n<p>Elisa is also a moderator for\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/internetevolution.com\/\">internetevolution.com<\/a>, an online tech-focused magazine, and is a member of the\u00a0Las Cruces\u00a0Green Chamber of Commerce.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, Elisa is an active citizen who has an understanding of some key issues including the financial industry and energy. She\u2019s young, intelligent, and has some fresh ideas. I\u2019m excited that she\u2019s agreed to take part in the debate on NMPolitics.net.<\/p>\n<p>Look for her to be blogging 2-3 times a week at <a href=\"http:\/\/nmpolitics.net\/balder-and-dash\">nmpolitics.net\/balder-and-dash<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Please welcome Elisa to the site.
