Republican gubernatorial candidate Susana Martinez<\/a> reported today that she has raised $141,265 in individual contributions since entering the race on July 17.<\/p>\n

Martinez also had $2,412 in in-kind contributions. She spent $10,607 and ended the period with $130,658 in on-hand cash, according to a news release from her campaign.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince July 17th \u2013 when I announced my intention to run for governor \u2013 I have been deeply moved by the support and excitement my candidacy has generated across New Mexico,\u201d Martinez said in the release. \u201cAs more voters learn about my record of taking on corruption and representing conservative values, they are choosing to stand with me and ensuring my campaign has the necessary resources to communicate its message in every corner of our great state.\u201d<\/p>\n

Martinez pointed out that she has raised an average of $53,107 per month since entering the race. That\u2019s probably designed to show that, at least in one aspect of campaign funding, she\u2019s keeping pace with opponent Allen Weh<\/a>. Weh announced earlier today that he raised almost $560,000<\/a> in the last reporting period, with almost half of that coming in the form of a personal loan from Weh and his wife to the campaign.<\/p>\n

Weh\u2019s fundraising included $244,893.22 in individual contributions. That puts his per-month fundraising from individual donors at about the same rate as Martinez\u2019s because Weh entered the race in May.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth noting that Weh said earlier today nearly three-fourths of his money was raised since Sept. 8, when he officially entered the race. Martinez raised about two-thirds of her money in the last 30 days.<\/p>\n

Republican gubernatorial candidate Doug Turner<\/a> announced earlier today that he raised just under $342,000<\/a> during the last reporting period, with the bulk of it \u2013 about $243,500 \u2013 coming in the form of loans from Turner to his campaign. Turner also reported a little more than $86,000 in in-kind contributions, so actual cash donations from individuals added up to less than $12,000.<\/p>\n

The fourth GOP gubernatorial candidate, Janice Arnold-Jones<\/a>, has not released fundraising information today.<\/p>\n

Update, 3:55 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Martinez just released her finance report in four parts \u2013 individual contributions<\/a>, in-kind contributions<\/a>, expenditures<\/a>, and overall numbers<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
