Meet Joe Carraro, your go-to Average Joe for insightful conversations on politics, business, and the economy. With two decades of experience as a former Senator, Joe brings a wealth of knowledge to the table. His journey, spanning from the political arena to Main Street entrepreneurship, establishes him as a reliable voice in navigating the intricacies of governance and finance. And he puts People before Politics.
No longer bound by the formalities of office, Joe as a registered Independent is here to break down barriers, offering a perspective that’s both relatable and enlightening. Join him in demystifying the complexities of today’s issues and fostering a dialogue that empowers everyday citizens.
Joe Carraro is a voice that transcends traditional political narratives, now diving into conversations that matter. While his video discussions touch on global events he goes deeper addressing issues that matter to the everyday lives of Average Joes and Janes and keeping promises he makes as he helps those who lack a voice to government.
Beyond the limelight of politics, he champions causes close to his heart such as the rights of the developmentally disabled and other conditions as well as figuring out ways to afford costs. This commitment is not just a chapter in Joe’s past; it’s an ongoing conversation that will find its way into his future actions.
Through his dialogues, Joe aims to foster a community where everyone is informed, and every discussion leads to meaningful solutions.
When he first decided to run for office as a Senator, Joe’s philosophy was formed and that’s what he carried through in his service to New Mexico and the Country. He made promises that would fulfill his constituents demands including building a new bridge across the Rio Grande — a task that was denied for decades stifling any growth on the Westside of Albuquerque which was populated by dirt roads and students from the Westside and Rio Rancho going to one high school and a couple of elementary schools with the only park labeled “sticker park” for its prevalent natural inhabitant.
Joe ran his campaign guaranteeing he would pass the bridge legislation in first year or he would resign from office. His opposition was the Governor and Speaker of the House who vowed that bridge would not be built.
He kept those promises after winning in a landslide. Then, before he was sworn in as Senator, he travelled the state talking to legislators in both parties about what needs they had that he could assist them with and how he needed their help to build a desperately needed bridge for his district and the entire Westside of Albuquerque. His bridge bills passed with overwhelming bipartisan support along with funds for schools and roadways and of course, the many projects needed throughout the state with his promised support.
He then joined with Senator Pete Domenici and the Native American tribes and pueblos to create the National Petroglyph Monument in his district intersected by the Paseo del Norte road that was the extension roadway from the bridge uniting both east and west sides of Albuquerque.
Joe has extensive experience as a Senator for over 20 years who transformed the NW into a growing business and residential community with his vision and legislation to build a Bridge. As an educator, his students have testified to his expertise and unparalleled ability to engage his students.

New Mexico state Sen. Joseph Carraro wants to change his state’s motto. It’s now “Crescit Eundo” (It Grows as It Goes). He prefers “Antiqua Suspice, Crastina Accipe” (Cherish the Past, Embrace the Future). Why? Carraro tells Scott Simon that no one knows what “It Grows as It Goes” means. (More…..)
LET’S ANALYZE AND GIVE UPDATES ABOUT WHO GOT LEFT OUT FROM TRUMPS PICKS TO RUN GOVERNMENT AND HOW ELON AND VIVEK CAN MAKE REAL POSITIVE LONG-LASTING CHANGE IN HOW OUR GOVERNMENT IS RUN WHILE DEALING WITH CONTINUING RESOLUTIONS AND CONGRESS. AND WHY ARE WE TOLERATING THE COMPARISON BETWEEN THE PROTEST AT THE CAPITAL ON JANUARY 6 AND PEARL HARBOR AND 911. IT’S A SHAME.HE CONSULTANTS TO THESE CAMPAIGNS HAVE THE JOB OF DESTROYING THE OPPONENT RATHER THAN BUILDING UP THEIR CANDIDATE.
FORGET THE NEGATIVES AND JUST VOTE FOR THE PERSON YOU THINK WHO’S DOING IT FOR YOU AND THE RIGHT REASONS AND NOT WITH THE MOST MONEY AND WHO CAN CHANGE A BAD SITUATION INTO GOOD.
WHY DO MEMBERS OF CONGRESS HAVE TO GO BACK TO WASHINGTON TO SERVE.
WE’RE NO LONGER BACK IN THE 18TH,19TH AND MOST OF THE 20TH CENTURIES WHERE COMMUNICATION HAD TO BE ACCOMPLISHED BY GATHERING TOGETHER TO SEE AND TALK TO EACH OTHER
NOW WE HAVE SUCH INTERNET CAPABILITIES WHERE THESE CONGRESSMEN AND SENATORS CAN LIVE BACK IN THEIR HOMETOWNS AND COMMUNITIES AND ATTEND THEIR COMMITTEES WHILE ALSO GROCERY SHOPPING AND ATTENDING NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS. WHICH WOULD ALSO ELIMINATE A LOT OF THE EXPENSES TRAVELING BACK-AND-FORTH TO WASHINGTON.
THESE POLITICAL RACES ARE ALL ABOUT OPPONENTS POINTING OUT ALL THE HORRIBLE THINGS OF THE PERSONS THEY’RE RUNNING AGAINST WITHOUT SPENDING MUCH TIME MENTIONING WHAT THEY CAN DO TO MAKE OUR LIVES ANY BETTER.
CONSULTANTS TO THESE CAMPAIGNS HAVE THE JOB OF DESTROYING THE OPPONENT RATHER THAN BUILDING UP THEIR CANDIDATE.

Why should members of Congress get paid $174,000 a year when it is the leadership and the political parties that run the government with these congressmen just following around; 174,000. THAT’S OVER MILLION DOLLARS FOR THEIR TERM. THEY’RE SET FOR LIFE AS THEIR CONSTITUENTS STRUGGLE. IF THEY’RE TRULY DOING IT FOR THE GOOD OF THEIR CONSTITUENTS AND MAKING OUR OOUNTRY A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE THEY SHOULD SERVE WITHOUT GETTING PAID AND RATHER JUST GET REIMBURSED FOR THE EXPENSES PROVIDED.
Taking over campuses by outside agitators and followed by stupid or unwitting students needed to be stopped before it gained traction. Now with private and public universities refusing to eliminate the occupations and without any organized objections by students attending these schools will just cause them to forego their educations.
TIMES SURE HAVE CHANGED. THE MEDIA DETERMIINES WHO THE HEROES ARE AND THE DECISONS OF THE OLYMPIC COMMITTEE ARE DETERMNING THE NORMALIZAITONS OF SOCIETY.
Senator Joe talks about what some veterans feel on Veteran’s day. Some of these men and women chose this path to for love of country and those people aren’t always comfortable with the attention given to them during veteran’s day. This is different from Memorial Day. Some are proud to serve their country and do not even want to remember the experience. Some prefer to keep themselves busy instead of remembering. Instead of bringing back memories, what can we do to make veterans proud to say they’ve saved and served the country?
We need to examine how age is substituted for competency using the cognitive capabilities of governor bill richardson and president bill clinton as examples. Do we ask 95 year old warren buffet to quit picking great stocks to invest in or stop carol burnett from performing or clint eastwood from producing. Yet we have others like senator feinstein and justice ginsberg who died in office and other who cannot function while still serving. The problem is we judge people by a variable that is different for everyone when it should just be based on capabilities. Senator joe shares his thoughts on age related to soft skills, education, and competency assessment.
