Barela Comes Up Short in CD-1 Funds Race

"In New Mexico, Republicans hold high hopes for Jon Barela, but he posted underwhelming numbers in his bid against against freshman Democratic Rep. Martin Heinrich. Barela raised just $107,000, less than half of the $238,000 of Heinrich’s total."

We couldn't have said it better ourselves.

This is a paragraph from a report from Politico.com on political challengers whose bids for elected office have been less than successful.

We knew that Barela's message was not resonating in CD-1, and his fundraising efforts show this. Rep. Martin Heinrich has worked hard for this district and we need to continue working for him as hard as he has worked for us in Washington, DC.
