A political figure in New Mexico history for more than 50 years, Clyde Tingley and his wife, Carrie, moved to Albuquerque in 1910, where he became interested in politics while his wife recuperated from tuberculosis. With a fruitful career spanning decades, Tingley served as Alderman of the Albuquerque City Council, Albuquerque District Superintendent of the New Mexico State Highway Department, a Delegate to 1928, 1932, and 1936 Democratic National Conventions, and as Chairman of the Albuquerque City Commission. Tingley was elected Governor in November 1934 and reelected to a second term in 1936. During his tenure, Tingley was responsible for turning dirt roads into paved highways, promoting the unique style of New Mexico tourism, planting tens of thousands of trees, creating wonderful parks such as Roosevelt Park, and moving New Mexico towards a modern future. As Governor, Tingley maintained a close relationship with President Franklin Roosevelt and was a proponent of his New Deal programs, securing large amounts of funding to enrich the state. Clyde and Carrie Tingley were also outspoken advocates for healthcare – particularly for children – and established several new hospitals, one of which treated children with tuberculosis and was named in honor of Carrie Tingley.
