Democratic lieutenant governor candidate Lawrence Rael raised more than $147,000 from May to October, his campaign announced today.
That total includes almost $113,000 in individual contributions and $19,500 in in-kind contributions. He also loaned his campaign $15,000, according to a finance report you can view by clicking here.
“This is quite humbling for someone like me who grew up with a single mom and seven brothers and sisters in a small village in northern New Mexico,” Rael said in a news release. “The support I’ve received shows that if you work hard every day and have integrity, anything is possible.”
Rael spent just under $23,000 and finished the reporting period with a little more than $105,000 in on-hand cash.
The only other lieutenant governor candidate who has released his finance report is Democrat Greg Solano, whose finance report says he raised $11,865 and spent $7,192.50.
