Teresa Cole elected county council chair; Susie Haberman elected vice chair
Summary
The Los Alamos County Council on Jan. 7 elected Teresa Cole as council chair for 2025 and, after a second ballot, Susie Haberman as vice chair. Both elections were by roll call and were unanimous or plurality as required by the council procedures.
Teresa Cole was elected chair of the Los Alamos County Council for 2025 after a roll‑call vote during the council’s Jan. 7 meeting.
Cole was nominated by Councilor Hand and accepted the nomination. The clerk recorded seven votes for Cole on the first ballot; the motion passed and Cole said she would serve as chair for the coming year.
The council then voted for vice chair. Three nominees were put forward — Susie Haberman, Councilor Reedy and Councilor Hand. The first ballot produced a split result that did not reach the required majority. After a second roll call, Haberman received four votes and was elected vice chair; the council recessed briefly thereafter.
Both leadership elections were conducted in public session with roll‑call votes and recorded by the clerk.
