Editors Note Corrects Duran's fundraising to reflect amended report filed by candidate.
By BARRY MASSEY Associated Press
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) _ Democrat Hector Balderas has opened up a large fundraising advantage in the race for attorney general, according to the latest campaign-finance disclosures.
Balderas collected about $241,099 in cash contributions and in-kind donations of goods and services during the past six months. Republican Susan Riedel raised $34,263.
Balderas, a two-term state auditor, reported cash-on-hand of $632,031 as of last week. Riedel had a balance of $21,649 in her campaign account.
Riedel is a former prosecutor and judge from Las Cruces, and she was chief deputy district attorney in the 3rd Judicial District when Gov. Susana Martinez served as district attorney.
Monday was the deadline for political committees and candidates to file reports showing fundraising from October through early April.
There's no incumbent in the attorney general's race because Democrat Gary King is term-limited and running for governor.
Car dealers and others in the automotive industry contributed $46,200 to Balderas. Title loan and payday lending companies and a lending trade group contributed $11,200.
The Republican State Leadership Committee, a national GOP group, provided in-kind contributions of $8,000 to Riedel and Las Cruces retiree Robert Reich gave $10,400, which is the maximum amount allowed under state law for a primary and general election.

Yesterday at 11:12 PM Cain, a Democrat, and Poliquin, a Republican, are well ahead of their opponents in the June 10 primary.
By Michael Shepherd Kennebec Journal
Democrat Emily Cain and Republican Bruce Poliquin are in a virtual dead heat financially and well ahead of their primary opponents in the race to replace U.S. Rep. Mike Michaud in Congress.

The candidates for the seat in Maines 2nd Congressional District had to file new fundraising totals from Jan. 1 to March 31 with the Federal Election Commission on Tuesday, and the deadline is important, as its the last look the public will have at the candidates finances before the June 10 primary election.
Ahead of the deadline, Cain and Poliquin already had money leads on their opponents, Democrat Troy Jackson and Republican Kevin Raye. But the new numbers show that they widened the gap. In the quarter, the Republicans lagged well behind Democrats.
Cain, a state senator from Orono, raised $191,000 in the latest quarter, pushing her fundraising total to $492,000 with $219,000 on hand. Jackson, the Maine Senate majority leader from Allagash, has raised $240,000 total less than half of Cains reporting $103,000 for the quarter, with $71,000 on hand.
Poliquin, the former state treasurer from Oakland, raised $122,000 in the quarter, bringing his total to $492,000 over the quarter. He has spent far less than Cain so far, with $341,000 in cash on hand.
Raye, the ex-Maine Senate president from Perry, had the most disappointing quarter, with just $82,000 raised and $286,000 total. However, he hasnt spent much and has $202,000 left in his campaign coffers.
Poliquin, a wealthy businessman, has given his campaign $113,000 so far, about one-quarter of its total. However, he put in only $4,000 in the latest quarter. Without personal money, Poliquin would still lead Raye in the money race by $93,000.
