Thanks to you, NMPolitics.net has a freelance budget
Heath Haussamen
I’ve already started assigning stories related to the primary election to a couple of freelance reporters. You’ll see them in the coming weeks.
Thanks to the donations of 150 of you, NMPolitics.net now has money to pay freelancers to write news articles.
That will take some pressure off me, which I needed to happen. More importantly, it means more diversity of voices in NMPolitics.net’s reporting than before.
Our fundraising drive ends today. We’ve raised $12,610 – 70 percent of our $18,000 goal. While we didn’t quite reach our goal, which would have allowed us to hire a reporter outright, we did raise enough funds for solid freelance reporting.
And we exceeded the amount we raised last year. We also increased the number of donors during this year’s fundraising drive.
This is great news for NMPolitics.net, because it shows us that our work is valued in New Mexico. Thank you again for your support!

Thanks for being one of those donors, EW-aif!
I am impressed that, in these economic times, you received even more donations than last year, and pleased that some good writers will be getting paid for the work they do.
Observer, you can view the full list of donors here:

That link is also available at the bottom of the site all the time. The link is called “Donor list.”
You should perhaps publish the names of those who have benfited you by their largess.
Congratulations – New Mexico needs an excellent blog like yours!
