Raised and spent are the FEC's official 2025–26 totals through Oct 14, 2026. Poliscope, which supplies the donor, PAC and sector breakdowns on this page, has not loaded the latest report yet and shows $5.63M raised through Jun 30, 2026, so those breakdowns cover an earlier period. FEC.gov's headline for senators covers the full six-year term, so it is larger than the 2025–26 figure here.
Ben Ray Lujan is a Democratic Senator from NM. Lujan has run for Senate and House office across 11 campaign cycles. Lujan's campaign has raised $5.6 million from 2,301 donors. Funding includes 26.2% from small-dollar donors (under $200) and 23.1% from in-state contributors. Top funding sources by employer include CAPITAL GROUP, LONG & LEVIT, AKIN GUMP.
