Only Nine New Mexicans Outside the Second Congressional District Contribute to Susanna Martinez’s Campaign
ALBUQUERQUE, NM – Although Dona Ana District Attorney Susanna Martinez calls herself a candidate for statewide office, its clear that she’s a long way from having a statewide base of support. An analysis of the finance report that Martinez submitted yesterday to the Secretary of State reveals that only nine New Mexicans who live outside of the 2ndCongressional District made contributions to her campaign.
“Susanna Martinez has been a candidate for Governor for several months, but she has yet to show a grasp of statewide issues or anything that remotely resembles a statewide base of support,” said Josh Geise, Executive Director of the Democratic Party of New Mexico. “With only nine New Mexican contributors outside of Susanna Martinez’s home region, it’s simply hard to take her seriously as a statewide candidate.”
The nine contributions from New Mexicans outside of Congressional District 2 were from Albuquerque (7) and Clovis (2). Martinez received no contributions at all from residents in key cities key cities like Santa Fe, Farmington, Taos, Las Alamos or Las Vegas.
Despite the fact that 91% of Martinez’s donors reside in her home region of the Second Congressional District, Lt. Gov. Diane Denish has amassed twice as many donors from the region. Lt. Gov. Denish has 479 contributors from the Second District, while Martinez has only 240 contributors.
In the first and third Congressional Districts, Lt. Gov. Denish has 2,835 contributors, while Martinez has just nine.
