Cash pouring in for Lujan Grisham's 2022 reelection campaign

Over the past six months, Gov. Lujan Grisham raked in thousands of individual campaign contributions totaling more than $2.53 million for her reelection bid in November 2022. None of the seven Republicans seeking the GOP nomination for governor so far even came close, with a combined haul of less than $1 million, according to campaign finance reports filed earlier this month.

Lujan Grisham’s money poured in from donors across New Mexico and throughout the country. While most of the contributions were $100 or less, the governor collected some 200 contributions of $1,000 and more than 300 contributions of $2,000 or more — cha-ching, cha-ching.

And that’s not all. More than a dozen well-heeled donors contributed the maximum $20,800 to the governor’s campaign. Two of those donors actually exceeded the campaign contribution cap, one by $10,000 and the other by $4,200, forcing Lujan Grisham’s campaign to return the excess funds and file an amended report.

The governor received multiple contributions from 11 of New Mexico’s Native American tribes. Combined, they contributed $69,900 to the governor’s campaign in the last reporting period.
