Democratic lieutenant governor candidate Lawrence Rael raised more than $147,000 from May to October, his campaign announced today.
That total includes almost $113,000 in individual contributions and $19,500 in in-kind contributions. He also loaned his campaign $15,000, according to a finance report you can view by clicking here.
“This is quite humbling for someone like me who grew up with a single mom and seven brothers and sisters in a small village in northern New Mexico,” Rael said in a news release. “The support I’ve received shows that if you work hard every day and have integrity, anything is possible.”

The only other lieutenant governor candidate who has released his finance report is Democrat Greg Solano, whose finance report says he raised $11,865 and spent $7,192.50.
