\"\"<\/a>Mayor Bill Mattiace<\/a> has raised significantly more than his challenger, District 6 Councilor Ken Miyagishima<\/a>, for the Nov. 6 municipal election, but he hasn\u2019t spent as much, leaving him with a lot of cash to spend in the final days of the campaign. <\/p>\n

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

\n

According to the reports due Thursday, Mattiace had raised $45,000 to Miyagishima\u2019s $31,000, but Miyagishima had spent more – $28,000 \u2013 than Mattiace\u2019s $24,000. That leaves him with about $21,000 on hand to Miyagishima\u2019s $3,000.<\/p>\n

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

Most of Mattiace\u2019s large contributions came from family members, including one $10,000 gift from a brother-in-law in Florida<\/st1:place><\/st1:state>. He also had a contribution of $1,195 from Bill and Renee Cupit. Bill Cupit is a well-known builder in Las Cruces<\/st1:city><\/st1:place>.<\/p>\n

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

Miyagishima has financed almost half of his campaign through personal contributions and loans and in-kind contributions from his insurance business. He also had a $500 contribution from Conservation Voters of New Mexico and a $250 contribution from former state Land Commissioner Ray Powell.<\/p>\n

City Council District 1<\/span><\/p>\n

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

In the City Council District 1 race<\/a>, incumbent Jos\u00e9 Frietze<\/a> raised just under $14,000 and spent just under $8,000. He had a $1,000 contribution from the Cupits and a $500 contribution from Las Cruces<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> developer Edgar Lopez\u2019s Investment Management Associates.<\/p>\n

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

Frietze has been under scrutiny<\/a> for his relationship to developer Philip Philippou. Remember the State Land Office controversy<\/a> that surrounded The Vistas at Presidio in May? It\u2019s worth noting that Frietze had a $500 contribution from lobbyist Domonic Silva and a $200 contribution from lobbyist David Kimble. Both work for Philippou.<\/p>\n

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

In addition, he had a $100 contribution from Assistant State Land Commissioner Jerry King.<\/p>\n

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

Conrad Guerra<\/a> has raised and spent almost $1,800, and all but $150 he contributed himself. Ron Gurley<\/a> has raised and spent $2,100, and has financed his entire campaign.<\/p>\n

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

Miguel Silva<\/a> has raised about $5,700 and spent almost $4,200. That included a $200 contribution from Miyagishima.<\/p>\n

City Council District 2<\/span><\/p>\n

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

In the City Council District 2 race<\/a>, incumbent Dolores Connor<\/a> has raised almost $16,000 and spent $7,700. All her contributions but one \u2013 a $500 contribution from Bea and Carl Connor \u2013 were for $250 or less, and for those who care about partisan politics in a non-partisan race, Connor has an bipartisan list of big-name financial supporters from around Las Cruces.<\/p>\n

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

\n

Her challenger, Vince Boudreau<\/a>, raised almost $7,400 and spent almost $2,400. He loaned himself $1,000 and had $1,500 in contributions from Lopez and his company.<\/p>\n

City Council District 4<\/span><\/p>\n

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

In the City Council District 4 race<\/a>, Nathan Small<\/a> raised the most \u2013 just over $9,100 \u2013 and spent just over $7,000. Since he grew up in Los Lunas, it\u2019s not surprising that many of his contributions are from people living in the Albuquerque<\/st1:city> area, but he also had a number of contributions from the Las Cruces<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> area. Conservation Voters of New Mexico gave him $1,000.<\/p>\n

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

Isaac Chavez<\/a> raised just under $7,000 and spent just over $5,000. He did not accept a cash contribution of more than $250, but he had in-kind contributions, each less than $500, from Citizen\u2019s Bank, Borman Autoplex and La Posta. Each helped pay for a Chavez billboard.<\/p>\n

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

Steve Monta\u00f1o<\/a> raised just under $5,300 and spent just over $4,200. He had a $500 contribution from Lopez\u2019s company and an in-kind contribution of $107.13 from Lt. Gov. Diane Denish\u2019s campaign for an ad on this site.<\/p>\n

Presiding municipal judge<\/span><\/p>\n

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

In the presiding municipal judge race<\/a>, incumbent Melissa Miller-Byrnes<\/a> has financed her campaign almost entirely herself, at least to this point, receiving $1,750 in contributions and having in-kind donations from herself of more than $18,700. Her expenses have totaled just over $19,100. She had a $250 contribution from Lopez\u2019s company.<\/p>\n

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

Her challenger, Conrad Perea<\/a>, has raised just over $6,000 and spent just over $5,500.<\/p>\n

In case you\u2019re wondering, final finance reports aren\u2019t due until Dec. 6, so this is all we\u2019ll know before the Nov. 6 election.<\/p>\n

\n

Update, 5:25 p.m.<\/p>\n

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

I noticed that Small had a great deal of financial support from the Albuquerque<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> area and from out of state. I asked him about it.<\/p>\n
