Lt. Gov. Diane Denish<\/a> announced today that she raised a little more than $500,000 from April to June for her 2010 gubernatorial campaign.<\/p>\n

Other candidates for statewide office haven\u2019t released such numbers today. It\u2019s not a required filing day. Denish, who is pushing for ethics reforms<\/a> including increased frequency of required campaign finance reporting, voluntarily releases finance reports every three months. State law only requires it twice a year (the next report is due in October).<\/p>\n

In short, she raised $512,374.67 during the quarter and has raised a little more than $2.2 million to date for the race. She had a total of 1,603 donations in the quarter, with 67 percent of them less than $100. Her largest contribution was $25,000 from Southwest Regional Council of Carpenters Labor Union.<\/p>\n

Denish spent a little more than $239,000 during the period, and ended it with almost $1.9 million on hand.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am honored to have the support of so many hard working New Mexicans who have joined this campaign to build a brighter future for our state,\u201d Denish said in a news release. \u201cIt\u2019s so exciting to see how many people are responding to our vision of making sure New Mexico is a leader in the jobs of the 21st Century economy, with a real commitment to education and to every area of the state.\u201d<\/p>\n

Most view Denish as the likely Democratic nominee for governor next year. Senate Majority Leader Michael Sanchez<\/a> says he\u2019s formed an exploratory committee as he considers challenging Denish for the nomination, but he hasn\u2019t been very active in the race.<\/p>\n

The only declared Republican gubernatorial candidate is Albuquerque financial adviser and Army National Guard brigadier general Greg Zanetti<\/a>, but Do\u00f1a Ana County District Attorney Susana Martinez<\/a> plans to enter the race on Friday. Former state GOP Chairman Allen Weh<\/a> and state Rep. Janice Arnold-Jones<\/a>, R-Albuquerque, have formed exploratory committees.<\/p>\n

Former U.S. Rep. Heather Wilson<\/a> and Doug Turner<\/a>, CEO of the Albuquerque-based public relations firm DW Turner, say they are seriously considering running for the GOP nomination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
