'GREEN' BUILDING: Don Wiviott says he's offering voters a roll-up-your-sleeves, can-do spirit honed over three decades in business.
The "green" builder made his name in Santa Fe with The Lofts, a live/work development off Cerrillos Road that incorporates environmentally friendly features such as the reuse of gray water.
"I've spent 30 years solving problems," Wiviott said. The businessman earned a degree in government and environmental studies from Dartmouth College and a masters in business administration from Harvard University.
Wiviott said as a political newcomer he's willing to invest personally in his campaign to get his name out, particularly because he does not accept corporate contributions.
"I am not a political insider," Wiviott, 52, said. "You're not going to see huge checks from corporate lobbyists or huge checks from corporate (political action committees)."
