Nearly half of King’s fundraising came from four contributions: two $12,500 donations, one from Patricia Carpenter and one from William Carpenter, both of Albuquerque, on Sept. 21; and two $5,000 contributions. One $5,000 check came Sept. 28 from Chris Sabatella of Introcapital Asset Management LTD of New York, the report shows. The other $5,000 contribution came Sept. 13 from Paul Blanchard of The Downs Racetrack & Casino in Albuquerque, the report shows.

King is being challenged by Republican Matthew Chandler, whose campaign had not filed his report by Monday afternoon.
Campaigns must file their reports by Tuesday afternoon at 5 p.m., Deputy Secretary of State Francisco Trujillo II told the Independent.
