Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney’s political action committee, Free & Strong America PAC, has given $5,000 each GOP governor candidate Susana Martinez and $2,500 each to congressional candidates Jon Barela and Steve Pearce. Barela is running against incumbent Democrat Martin Heinrich and Pearce is running against incumbent Democrat Harry Teague.

“This is why it is so important that we elect people like Susana Martinez, Jon Barela and Steve Pearce, who will work to get our economy back on track and make job creation a priority.”
Romney unsuccessfully ran for the Republican nomination for President in 2008, losing out to John McCain. McCain went on to lose to now-President Barack Obama.
Free & Strong America PAC did not donate to Tom Mullins, who won the Republican nomination in the 3rd Congressional District, though the press release noted this was only the “first wave” of endorsements in New Mexico.
