Albuquerque – An exclusive story out today by the Washington Reporter outlined how Senator Martin Heinrich took campaign donations from both sides of a failed New Mexico energy merger. In 2021, Sen. Heinrich wrote the proposed merger between Avangrid and PNM would “financially benefit PNM customers” without disclosing he took in $43,000 in campaign contributions from the companies before, during, and after the failure of the proposed merger. In fact, campaign reports show Heinrich took in $13,000 in donations in a single day from company employees just last fall.
“It looks like Martin Heinrich really believes in the green movement, as long as it puts more green in his campaign pocket,” said Larry Behrens, Communications Director for Power The Future. “As New Mexicans are heading to the polls, they deserve full disclosure from Martin Heinrich about any deals he’s pushed that also included campaign cash.”
