Republican John Sanchez raised just over $100,000 for his U.S. Senate campaign<\/a> in the fourth quarter of 2011. His campaign also repaid him $100,000 for a loan he had previously made.<\/p>\n

The disclosure of the fundraising and loan repayment comes in Sanchez\u2019s fourth-quarter finance report, which his campaign filed on Jan. 31 but hasn\u2019t been disclosed publicly until now. Sanchez told NMPolitics.net on Thursday that he didn\u2019t know how much he raised in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

According to his finance report, Sanchez raised just under $102,000 between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31. He spent just over $141,000. And he repaid about half of a $200,500 loan that he made to his campaign shortly after he joined the race in May.<\/p>\n

His campaign ended 2011 with just under $110,000 in the bank.<\/p>\n

As NMPolitics.net reported on Thursday<\/a>, Sanchez has decided to drop out of the race to replace the retiring Jeff Bingaman in the Senate. It\u2019s a report the Sanchez campaign denies, but NMPolitics.net stands by its article. NMPolitics.net doesn\u2019t know when Sanchez will announce his decision.<\/p>\n

The campaign never really got off the ground. Even before NMPolitics.net\u2019s report, many suspected that Sanchez\u2019s campaign was coming to an end. There had been little activity on his campaign website<\/a>,\u00a0Facebook page<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0Twitter account<\/a> during the last three months of 2011 and January, and he missed many GOP events the other candidates attended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
