Gubernatorial Campaign Finance Update

Diane Denish
Campaign financing sources have been updated through June for both of New Mexico's gubernatorial candidates. Though the amounts collected from her contributors have ballooned, Diane Denish's top sources of support remain the same. Lawyers and lobbyists lead the way for Denish. According to the website: followthemoney.org, the Lt. Governor has received $368,910 from these two intertwined groups in 2010.
Susana Martinez
The funding sources for Dona Ana County District Attorney Susana Martinez come from vastly different segments when compared to Denish. The biggest contributor to the Martinez campaign coffers are home builders. Martinez has received $452,550 from various home builders and only $54,297 from lawyers and lobbyists. The Denish campaign does not even list home builders in its top fifteen sources. Denish has still raised over a million dollars more than Martinez according to the site.

By "home builders" do you mean Robert Perry? He and his wife gave Martinez $450,000.

Also the last campaign finance reports were updated on July 1 and the next ones are due on September 13.

From Newsnm.com staff. We looked at the occupation information of Perry on the Martinez filings and he does list it as Home Builder.
