NEW MEXICO HAS CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION LIMITS. CONGRESSMAN STEVE PEARCE, WHO IS RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR, SAYS THOSE LIMITS DON’T APPLY AS HE WANTS TO MOVE 1-MILLION DOLLARS FROM HIS FEDERAL ACCOUNT TO HIS GUBERNATORIAL CAMPAIGN.
HOWEVER, THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS SECRETARY OF STATE MAGGIE TOULOUSE-OLIVER SAYS THOSE LIMITS DO APPLY AND PEARCE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE THE TRANSFER. NOW PEARCE HAS FILED A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE SECRETARY OF STATE CHALLENGING HER RULING.
