Top recipients of lobbyists’ campaign contributions in 2012 legislature
Print This Post
This list details contributions to members of the 50th legislature reported on Jan. 15, 2012 reports by individual lobbyists, sorted by individual candidates.
Source: New Mexico Secretary of State data
Caveat: Some listed recipients received contributions on behalf of legislative caucuses or committees. Rep. Tom Taylor, for example, receives contributions on behalf of the House Republican Leadership Committee. Because lobbyists reports do not correctly reflect the name of recipients, these data only reflect names of recipients as reported by lobbyists to the Secretary of State on Jan. 15 reports.
These tallies reflect data as provided by the Secretary of State contingent on how lobbyists reported the data. They differ significantly from the actual names of recipients and contributors printed on checks lobbyists hand legislators.
(These data do not include $18,900 in contributions to “various candidates” by lobbyist Luke Otero, who filed a Jan. 15 report that was not online at the time this list was compiled, but which, in data the Sec. of State provided listed the total amount contributed to otherwise undifferentiated candidates.)
