RICHARDSON'S CAMPAIGN
CONTRIBUTIONS

The top donations to gov. elect Bill
Richardson's campaign came from:

ile

Labor unions: $633,488

The top union donor was AFSCME,
the public-employee's labor group,
which gave $300,000 in cash
contributions. AFSCME also produced
its own radio and television ads
during the Republican primary that
were critical of GOP candidates.

AFSCME is angling to persuade the
Legislature and the governor to
reinstate collective bargaining for
state employees. Outgoing Gov.
Gary Johnson allowed the previous
agreement to expire, and Richardson
has promised to work on a new
agreement.

The Communication Workers of
America, which represents several
thousand employees in New Mexico,
contributed $100,000 through its
political action committee in New
Mexico. The American Federation of
Teachers, one of two national
teachers unions that represents New
Mexico educators, gave $50,000.

Gambling interests: $648,392
This is a significant development in
New Mexico campaign finances. In a
matter of five years, gambling
money has become one of the top
influences in state politics.

The top gambling contributor was
the Downs at Albuquerque, which
donated $100,000.

The Downs has a relationship with
the state because the racing license
is regulated by the state Racing
Commission. The Downs also

by the state Gaming Control Board.

The Downs also rents the racetrack
and casino facilities from the New
Mexico State Fair. The state recently
sued the Downs on behalf of the
State Fair for more than $100,000 in
back rent that has not been paid.

Paul Blanchard, the president of the
Downs, was a key player in helping
Richardson raise campaign money.
He donated $10,000 of his own
money. Blanchard's wife, Kandace,
also donated $10,000.

Other major gambling contributors
include Riviera Gaming Management
Inc., a Las Vegas corporation that is
working with partners in New
Mexico, including Ken Newton, to get
a license to open a horse racetrack
and casino in Hobbs. Riviera donated
$50,000 to Richardson's campaign.

The Pueblo of Sandia contributed
$56,148 in cash and in-kind
donations to Richardson. Sandia
operates the state's largest tribal
casino.
