\"\"<\/a>Martin Heinrich<\/a> and Bill McCamley<\/a> are two of the top 20 fundraisers, at least in contributions given through the liberal Web site ActBlue<\/a>, among Democratic House candidates across the nation. <\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

It\u2019s another sign that they\u2019re two Democratic candidates to keep your eyes on.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

The national liberal blog Swing State Project<\/a> compiled and published the list Thursday. Heinrich, the only announced challenger to U.S. Rep. Heather Wilson<\/a>, R-N.M., was 15th among Democratic House candidates in ActBlue fundraising, having collected $23,044 through the site as of Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

McCamley, one of two announced Democrats vying for the right to take on U.S. Rep. Steve Pearce<\/a>, R-N.M., next year, was 19th on the list, having raised $11,580 as of Wednesday.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The top four on the list, who had each raked in $70,000 or more through the site, are all seeking open seats that they\u2019re expected to win easily, according to Swing State Project. The others on the list all have tough roads ahead.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

It will be interesting to see how fundraising through the widely-used Web site compares to final numbers reported in mid-July for the reporting period that ends Saturday.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Candidates are all making last-minute pushes to raise money before the deadline. Since the posting on Swing State Project, Heinrich\u2019s contributions<\/a> through the site have increased to $29,784, and McCamley\u2019s<\/a> have increased to $12,680. Count on Heinrich to report contributions of more than $150,000 this quarter. Count on McCamley to report well over $100,000 in contributions.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Al Kissling<\/a>, the other Democrat battling for the right to take on Pearce, has raised $585 through the site<\/a>. His fundraising report will be a big indicator of whether he can keep up with McCamley.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Though Heinrich and McCamley are both raising a lot of money, you can also count on the incumbents they\u2019re challenging to raise more than them this quarter.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Don Wiviott<\/a>, the Santa Fe<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> developer who wants to take on U.S. Sen. Pete Domenici<\/a>, R-N.M., next year, jumped into the race a week ago and has raised $1,695 though ActBlue. Jim Hannan<\/a>, another Democratic challenger to Domenici, has a page on ActBlue but hasn\u2019t raised any money through the site. And Leland Lehrman<\/a>, the other Democrat who wants to take on Domenici, doesn\u2019t have a page on ActBlue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
