U.S. Rep. Harry Teague<\/a>, D-N.M., raised $132,843.18 for his re-election campaign in the first three months of the year \u2013 enough to keep him about $200,000 ahead of his Republican opponent, Steve Pearce<\/a>, in overall fundraising during the election cycle.<\/p>\n

Teague raised $80,052.83 from individuals, $52,750 from political action committees and $40.35 from a political party committee, according to the report<\/a> he filed today with the Federal Election Commission.<\/p>\n

From January through March, Teague\u2019s campaign spent $88,840.56. The campaign ended the quarter with $927,301.16 on hand.<\/p>\n

The Teague campaign put out no statement about his fundraising, but a statement came from Democratic Party of New Mexico spokesman James Hallinan. His statement talked about Pearce more than it talked about Teague.<\/p>\n

\u201cCongressman Steve Pearce must be getting tired,\u201d Hallinan said in the release. \u201cHe\u2019s running around touting his fundraising success and all the support he\u2019s getting from his Washington insider friends while at the same time trying to run away from his 6-year record as a champion for George Bush\u2019s failed economic policies.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t blame Congressman Pearce for hiding from his failed record as he tries desperately to get back to Washington, but New Mexicans remember that Congressman Pearce stood with George Bush more often than he stood up for his own district,\u201d Hallinan said. \u201cAnd that is why people from Hobbs to Roswell, Carlsbad to Las Cruces, Silver City to Los Lunas, and everywhere in between are throwing their support behind Harry Teague.\u201d<\/p>\n

Teague does lead in fundraising to date in what is one of the hottest House races in the nation: He\u2019s raised $1,246,571.91 for his re-election campaign and ended March with $927,301.16 in the bank, while Pearce has raised a total of $1,037,585 for his campaign and ended March with $708,891.67 in the bank.<\/p>\n

But Pearce has been raising money at a quicker pace since he got into the race than Teague. In the first quarter of 2010, Pearce\u2019s fundraising was more than twice that of Teague. He reported today<\/a> that he raised $277,447.64 and spent $138,101.43 during the quarter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
