On April 29, Bill announced that he had loaned $47.50 to his campaign in a ceremony at his headquarters in Las Cruces. This followed one day after McCamley’s opponent, oil industry executive Harry Teague, loaned his campaign $475,000.

“I am not a millionaire oil industry executive, but I am pleased to provide my campaign with this contribution,” said McCamley. “With gas prices reaching new records every day, this $47.50 will almost pay for our campaign’s next tank of gas as we take our message of fixing Washington for the middle class across the Second District.”
