Republican U.S. Senate candidate Heather Wilson<\/a> raised just under $300,000 from April 1 to May 14 and had $712,476.63 on hand to spend in the final three weeks of the primary race.<\/p>\n

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

Wilson<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> released the summary pages from her May 14 Federal Election Commission report, which you can view by clicking here<\/a>. Her primary opponent, Steve Pearce<\/a>, meanwhile, did not respond to a request to release his FEC report.<\/p>\n

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

While Wilson<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> raised $291,106.48 during the reporting period \u2013 with all but $46,000 coming from individuals, and the rest coming from political committees \u2013 the Pearce campaign said it raised $357,000 but provided no additional information, including whether any of that was a loan.<\/p>\n

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

\"\"<\/a>The Pearce campaign also did not release the all-important figure: how much cash it had on hand on May 14. At the start of April, Wilson<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> had $1.2 million on hand, while Pearce had $854,164.<\/p>\n

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

This is the first fundraising quarter in which Pearce out-raised Wilson<\/st1:place><\/st1:city>. But his campaign didn\u2019t release information about how much it spent during the reporting period. Wilson<\/st1:place><\/st1:city>\u2019s campaign spent $776,068.46.<\/p>\n

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

Wilson<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> had raised almost $2.4 million for the primary as of May 14, and had received contributions from 4,582 New Mexicans, which accounts for more than 85 percent of her individual contributions.<\/p>\n

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

\u201cWe\u2019re very pleased with the amount of support we continue to receive from New Mexicans,\u201d Wilson<\/st1:place><\/st1:city>\u2019s campaign manager, Chris Collins, said in a news release. \u201cWe are in an excellent financial position heading into the final two weeks of the campaign.\u201d<\/p>\n
