Editor's note: A previous version of this story inaccurately stated that neither Reform New Mexico Now nor Susana PAC reported new campaign finance information this cycle. Both groups did report new information, but filed their reports approximately 22 hours after the state's 5 pm Monday deadline, meaning they were not publicly available before SFR's deadline. State law allows a 24-hour grace period when reports are due on a holiday.
