Rio Rancho is full of interesting people, some you know and some you don’t. Even the more prominent residents in town who are in the news all of the time, we still don’t really get to know who they are.
I am kicking off a new series of my column, it is called 19 Questions. I created a survey of deep, as well as lighthearted questions that will give us a small glimpse into the lives of some of our fellow Rio Ranchoans. I ask 19 Questions of people you probably have heard of but never really knew anything about other than their job title.
Today Councilor Shaw has kindly agreed to go under the microscope and give us all a peek into what his favorite food is and the one thing he wishes Rio Ranch had.

Shaw was elected to a four year term on the City Council in March 2008, after retiring from the Rio Rancho Department of Public Safety in 2006 as Deputy Chief.
