Federal Money Hides Behind New Mexico Election | Santa Fe News

New Mexico’s campaign finance transparency is in chaos after a federal group, American Energy Action Fund, dumped mailers for a state candidate without revealing how much they spent or who funded it—because federal rules don’t sync with state deadlines. Their delayed reports lump all New Mexico spending into one vague category, hiding whether it was a small campaign or a massive media push. Former Senator Dede Feldman calls it “woefully inadequate,” and the trail goes cold when you hit another nonprofit donor who doesn’t disclose its own sources. The state’s online database doesn’t include these federal filings—you have to hunt them down manually. Voters are left guessing who’s really pulling the strings.
