From Santa Fe New Mexican:
The GOP has raised twice as much money for its state campaign account as the state Democratic Party during the past three months, according to the latest campaign finance reports the parties filed with the Secretary of State’s Office. However, separate Democratic political committees collect money for legislative races, and they have raised almost $300,000 since late June.
Doylene Perry, wife of a Houston homebuilder who is a nationally prominent donor to conservative causes, contributed $115,000 to the state GOP at the end of June. That accounted for more than a third of the GOP’s receipts from June 29 through Oct. 3. Her husband, Bob Perry, helped finance the “Swift Boat” ads against Democrat John Kerry in the 2004 presidential election.
