New 'dark money' group backs array of New Mexico House Democratic candidates
A new political committee has recently purchased advertisements seeking to influence multiple New Mexico House of Representatives races, though little public information exists about who is behind the group or where its funding comes from.
New Chapter, New Mexico is a 501(c)4 nonprofit organization that spent roughly $85,000 on mailers and social media advertisements of the $262,000 it has in its coffers, according to recent Secretary of State’s Office election filings.
A review of Facebook, Instagram and Google ad libraries shows the organization has purchased more than 50 digital ads, several dozen of which express support for or opposition to Democratic candidates in 10 state House races.
The ads generally laud the candidates for their opposition to President Donald Trump and feature voiceovers that sound artificially generated. The ads also attack several incumbents for voting in favor of providing state lawmakers with salaries, a proposition voters will decide via a ballot question in November.
