New Mexico’s $18.9M candidate book, 70.7% Democratic

Democratic $13.4 million, Republican $5.3 million

Democratic candidate receipts are 70.7% of New Mexico’s $18.9 million. Republican receipts of $5.3 million are 28.1%. Other-party receipts of $225,948 are 1.2%. The split is a party-code roll-up of 347 committees. It is not a map of the 34,171 donors and not a forecast of New Mexico’s House or Senate map.

Three hundred forty-seven federal candidate committees produced the $18.9 million. House districts, a Senate line, and other federal filers sit in that roster. Sorting the New Mexico hub by receipts isolates the committees that hold most of the $13.4 million Democratic line.

A complete citation for New Mexico names both $18.9 million in candidate receipts across 347 filers and $236.9 million from 34,171 donors, then stops. Adding a third invented total is how these pages go wrong.

New Mexico donors: $236.9 million from 34,171 people

The individual contribution total of $236.9 million exceeds the $18.9 million candidate book. New Mexico residents give to national PACs, Super PACs, and out-of-state campaigns; those gifts remain New Mexico donor dollars. The donor series does not inherit the 70.7% Democratic candidate-receipt share.

Thirty-four thousand one hundred seventy-one donors is the FEC contributor count. Occupation strings live on the underlying rows. This state summary does not re-tabulate them.

Cycle 2026 remains open. Amendments move Form 3 receipts. Restated individual files move donor aggregates. If the live New Mexico hub disagrees with this guide, the hub and FEC.gov control.

New Mexico’s cycle-2026 candidate file is a receipt file. $18.9 million is inflows reported by 347 committees, not cash on hand and not money spent on ads. A committee can report receipts that still sit unspent. The New Mexico hub’s receipt sort shows concentration without inventing a statistic that is not in the packet.

What $18.9 million omits

Candidate receipts do not include independent expenditures by Super PACs, even when the ads name a New Mexico candidate. They do not include New Mexico Secretary of State filings for state offices. They do not include unreported activity.

PAC directories are the next table if the question is where a share of the $236.9 million went after it left a New Mexico address.

Secretary of State filings are separate

New Mexico state-office campaigns file with the Secretary of State. Those reports are not in the $18.9 million or the $236.9 million. This page is federal 2026-cycle data from FEC.gov.

New Mexico FEC totals

The New Mexico FEC totals page holds the live 2026 table. Candidate, PAC, and Super PAC directories share the same FEC.gov backbone. Numbers cited here are packet facts only.

Putting New Mexico’s FEC fields on one page without mixing them

The packet for New Mexico contains seven quantitative fields for cycle 2026: 347 candidates, $18.9 million in candidate receipts, $13.4 million Democratic, $5.3 million Republican, $225,948 other, $236.9 million donated, and 34,171 donors. This guide cites those fields and percentages computed from them. It does not cite poll numbers, independent-expenditure totals, or state-office filings, because those are not in the packet.

Candidate receipts of $18.9 million can include individual gifts, PAC transfers, and other inflows a campaign discloses. They do not include Super PAC ads. Donor totals of $236.9 million count itemized individual contributions originating from New Mexico regardless of the recipient. The two series overlap only where a New Mexico donor gave to a New Mexico-tagged candidate committee.

Party shares — 70.7% Democratic, 28.1% Republican, 1.2% other — are receipt shares. They are not donor shares. The New Mexico FEC totals page, the candidate directory, the PAC directory, and the Super PAC tracker are the four LobbyVault views that share FEC.gov as the source.

Start with the question. If the question is candidate fundraising in New Mexico, read $18.9 million across 347 committees and the party split $13.4 million / $5.3 million / $225,948. If the question is money originating from New Mexico addresses, read $236.9 million and 34,171. If the question is independent spending, leave both series and open Super PACs.

Double-counting happens when someone adds $18.9 million to $236.9 million, or treats PAC receipts as candidate receipts, or folds state-office filings into FEC totals. Each of those moves invents a number that is not on FEC.gov.

The candidate directory is the path to a single FEC ID. The New Mexico FEC totals page is the path to the state roll-up. Cycle 2026 filings remain the underlying documents. LobbyVault indexes them; it does not replace them.
