As the campaign to fill the New Mexico congressional seat vacated by Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland enters its final days, Democratic candidate Melanie Stansbury has outraised her leading opponent by more than twice over.
Stansbury raised more than $1.3 million as of May 12, and more than $152,000 since. On May 12, she had almost $525,000 on hand. The largest share of her warchest came from large individual contributions, which have continued to roll in just days before election day.
PACs contributed a combined total of nearly $232,000, around 17 percent of her total fundraising. Elect Democratic Women, a PAC founded by Democratic women in the House, is among Stansbury’s donors, giving $15,000 since she launched her primary campaign for the seat earlier this year.

Looking for a safe and fun sports activity that the entire family can enjoy together, Tammy Peters thinks she found just the thing.
But it requires a little thinking outside the box.
After going through an instructional session Peters, and her daughter, 11-year-old Tammany Peters, are thinking of joining the Roadrunner Curling Club at the Outpost Ice Arenas in the northeast heights. The RCC hosts several different curling leagues.

“One of my friends is in the league,” Tammy Peters said. “She had invited us to check it out and it looked like a lot of fun so we thought we’d try it out.”
