There will be an opportunity to contribute at our Annual Meeting. All 70 New Mexico House of Representative seats are up for reelection this year and 10 incumbents – 5 Democrats and 5 Republicans – are not seeking reelection. Moreover, this will be the election cycle for the Governor, Lt. Gover - nor, State Treasurer, Secretary of State and Attorney Gener - al. This is an ideal time for our industry through the NMBA, to make a difference in this campaign season. But to do so, we need your assistance. We are approximately 40% in reaching our goal of $15,000 for our Federal PAC and 30%+ in reaching our $20,000 goal for the State PAC. I want to truly thank those banks and individuals who have already contributed to our PAC. For those who have yet to contribute, please do. This is a season in which we can make a huge difference in the political landscape in New Mexico. Again, please plan to attend our 2014 Annual Meeting and Vendor Event! n
