Deb Haaland's campaign for governor of New Mexico has reported a fundraising total of nearly $3.7 million, drawing contributions from almost 51,000 individuals. The average online donation is $37, and over 14,000 donations have come from within the state. This announcement follows an initial surge in which Haaland raised more than $2 million in the first month.
“I am extremely grateful for the support our campaign has received over the past few months. We’re running a grassroots campaign to fight for hardworking New Mexicans. This campaign is going to be funded by the people, and that’s the way it should be,” stated Deb Haaland.
Donors primarily include educators, retirees, legal professionals, and medical workers, indicating strong community backing. Over one million dollars have been raised specifically from New Mexican contributors.
Felicia Salazar, deputy campaign manager and communications director for Haaland's campaign said: “The sustained enthusiasm that our campaign has seen over the past couple of months has been extraordinary. These numbers reflect what we’re seeing on the ground—New Mexicans are ready for leadership that puts them first.”
Salazar added: “Secretary Haaland’s message is resonating across every county in our state because people know her story and trust her to deliver for our communities. This grassroots momentum isn’t just about numbers. It’s a testament to a real movement that Deb will harness to change the system for all New Mexicans.”
Haaland recently released videos addressing issues such as Medicaid protection and clean energy jobs while opposing policies from former President Trump and GOP initiatives.
