Roughly one quarter of University of New Mexico students are unimpressed with the state’s flagship public school, according to a survey that questioned college students about their higher education experiences.
The two competitive New Mexico congressional districts are clearly a priority to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. The DCCC has put in just under $175,000 in the 1st Congressional District and just under $205,000 in CD2 in filings with Tuesday’s date.
In other words, the DCCC just dropped $380,000 in the two key races.
In the 1st Congressional District, the money went completely toward a media buy. No media production, which probably means that the DCCC will be airing the same ads it is currently airing against Republican Darren White.
In the 2nd Congressional District, the DCCC spent $185,000 on a media buy and nearly $20,000 on a mail drop. A lot people in the 2nd Congressional District can expect not only to see ads from the DCCC on Republican Ed Tinsley, but something in their mailboxes as well.
To date, the National Republican Campaign Committee (NRCC) has not spent a dime in either district. Other outside interest groups are trying to pick up the slack, but the DCCC has an incredible amount of money to spend on these media buys.
The ads were part of a day where the DCCC reported more than $7 million in 41 districts nationwide. The NRCC reported spending a little less than $815,000 nationwide.
