Republicans and Democrats running for the 2nd Congressional District seat in Southern New Mexico have spent at least $2.8 million on their primary election campaigns.

According to the latest federal campaign finance reports, Capitan rancher and restaurant chain owner Ed Tinsley had spent the most as of last week of the five Republicans seeking their party's nomination.

Former Lea County Commissioner Harry Teague had greatly outspent Bill McCamley in the two-way Democratic primary race.

In the race for the GOP nomination:

• Tinsley has received $776,871 and spent $644,308 since launching his campaign. The totals were as of May 14, when his campaign had a balance of $132,564.

• Aubrey Dunn Jr., a retired banker and rancher near Roswell, has raised $434,962 and spent $408,358. Nearly 70 percent of his receipts — about $302,000 — came from personal loans. However, Dunn loaned an additional $235,000 to his campaign after the report filing period, and that money is not reflected in the totals. Dunn's campaign had a cash balance of $26,604 as of May 14.

• Former Hobbs Mayor Monty Newman has receipts of $356,665 and disbursements of $266,172. He has loaned $100,000 to his campaign and had a cash balance of $90,493.

• Las Cruces businessman Greg Sowards has raised $325,000 and spent $181,412. All his campaign money came from personal loans. He had a cash balance of $143,588.

• C. Earl Greer, a real estate broker from Truth or Consequences, has raised $51,747 and spent $40,157. He had a cash balance of $11,589.

In the race for the Democratic nomination:

• Teague has raised $1.1 million and spent slightly more than a $1 million. His receipts include personal loans and contributions of about $687,000.

• McCamley, a Doña Ana County commissioner, has raised $393,418 and spent $217,472.

Teague, who owns an oilfield services business in Hobbs, had a cash balance of $85,691 in his campaign as of last week. McCamley had $152,403 cash on hand.

The latest campaign finance reports with the Federal Election Commission, which were due Thursday, are the last complete accounting of fundraising before the June 3 primary election.

The reports show details of contributions and spending between April 1 and May 14. In the final weeks leading up to the primary, candidates must notify the FEC within 48 hours of receiving contributions of $1,000 or more.

During the reporting period:

• Dunn collected contributions of $24,282 and spent $285,363 during the past six weeks. He received at least $9,300 in contributions since the reporting period.

• Tinsley received contributions of $128,395 and loaned his campaign $35,000, which gave him $163,395 in total receipts. He spent $455,923. Since May 14, Tinsley has reported collecting $114,000 since the reporting period.

• Newman had contributions of $61,022 and spent $177,265. He has received at least $26,900 in contributions since the reporting period.

• Greer received $11,875 in contributions and spent $30,965.

• Sowards collected no contributions but spent $156,732. He previously loaned his campaign $325,000.

• Teague received $98,779 in contributions and loaned his campaign $475,000 — giving him total receipts of $573,779. He spent $824,952. He has received at least $19,500 in contributions since the reporting period.

• McCamley collected $36,189 in contributions and spent $96,187. He received at least $3,800 in contributions since the reporting period.

The candidates are running for the seat being vacated by Republican Steve Pearce, who is seeking his party's nomination for the U.S. Senate.
