BREAKING: Haaland Raises Record $2M in First Month of Campaign

More than 30,000 grassroots donors build momentum for Haaland

Albuquerque, N.M. – Today, the Deb Haaland for New Mexico campaign announced that she has raised more than $2,000,000 in contributions from more than 30,000 donors, including donations from all 33 counties in New Mexico. With three weeks left in the first reporting period, Deb Haaland is on track to raise more than any other candidate in New Mexico’s history has in their first reporting period.

Haaland’s message centering on lowering costs, addressing crime, and promoting healthy communities is resonating with audiences. Among her strongest supporters are teachers, attorneys, and healthcare professionals, alongside thousands of retirees and working New Mexicans who trust her to lead the state. The average online contribution was under $43. Moreover, 97% of contributions to the campaign were below $100 and more than 2,300 individuals have set up recurring contributions and have pledged more than $35,000 in sustained grassroots support during the first month of Haaland’s campaign.

“As I traveled the state, it’s clear that New Mexicans are ready to elect someone who has their back and will tackle our challenges head-on,” said Deb Haaland. “In every position I’ve held, I’ve worked to change the system and I’ll bring that experience to the governor’s office. I’m honored to have widespread and grassroots support of New Mexicans who share my vision for our state.”

Last week, Haaland completed her campaign launch tour, visiting 19 counties across New Mexico with nearly 4,000 people in attendance. During the tour, rooms were filled to capacity, including in counties where a majority voted for Donald Trump. Her strong start to the campaign drew endorsements from Senator Ben Ray Luján, Representatives Teresa Leger Fernandez, Melanie Stansbury, and Gabe Vasquez and more than 80 local leaders and organizations.  

Haaland’s fundraising efforts align with New Mexico’s statute which bars sitting state elected officials from fundraising during the New Mexico legislative session.
