New Mexico campaign finance next to federal obligations

New Mexico’s small row count beside a large obligation total

The spending extract is $290,804,554,133.35 and 85,196 awards. The FEC extract is $18,926,775.67 and 347 candidate committees. Connecticut, earlier in this family, shows 169,224 awards against $507,565,382,911.38. New Mexico’s 85,196 against $290,804,554,133.35 is fewer actions still. A lower row count next to nine-figure-to-ten-figure dollars usually means a heavier mix of large actions in the extract. This packet does not publish an average, so none is quoted.

The $290,804,554,133.35 total is obligations, not outlays. The 85,196 rows are award actions, including modifications. Repeat recipients add rows. National-laboratory and energy-related awards may sit in a state extract of this shape; this packet has no agency split, so none is invented.

New Mexico federal spending is the live award hub. It does not list FEC donors.

FEC.gov: 347 committees and a Democratic-committee majority

New Mexico candidate receipts are $18,926,775.67 from 347 committees — the smallest filing roster in this family, just below Connecticut’s 529. Democratic committees reported $13,379,373.76 (about 70.7%). Republican committees reported $5,321,453.77 (about 28.1%). Other and unaffiliated filers reported $225,948.14 (about 1.2%). About 70.7% is a share of a small receipt book. It is not a share of $290,804,554,133.35.

347 is a filing count, including primary challengers and residual committees. It is not Santa Fe’s state-office roster and not a contractor headcount. The 1.2% other share is thicker than Alabama’s remainder and thinner than Minnesota’s other line.

Few rows and few committees still do not merge the ledgers

Smaller counts can make a join look tidy. Tidy is not funded. Adding $18,926,775.67 to $290,804,554,133.35 invents a combined total. Mapping 70.7% Democratic onto 85,196 awards invents a party field. Treating receipts as a rounding error inside a low-row, high-dollar award file still mixes datasets.

Correlation is not causation. Different statutes, different filers.
