Luján Grisham Outraises Opponents Again

CHC Chair and New Mexico gubernatorial candidate Congresswoman Michelle Luján Grisham (D-NM) raised nearly $1.4 million over the past six months, giving her an early financial advantage over her rivals, including Congressman Steve Pearce (R-NM), according to state disclosure forms filed Monday. The first to enter the gubernatorial race, Luján Grisham has raised $2.2 million overall since December 2016. More than 6,000 contributors gave money -- mostly in donations of less than $100 each. Filings showed contributions from at least seven organized labor groups worth $15,000. Disclosure forms show spending of more than $520,000 over the past six months to pay for political consultants and several campaign employees, and to create ads, among other expenses. More here.
