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.
