According to Politico, the gubernatorial campaign of Lt. Gov. Diane Denish rented the campaign list of Hillary Clinton. Clinton, now Secretary of State, ran for President in the Democratic primary last year.
According to the Federal Election Commission report, the Committee To Elect Diane Denish, Inc. paid $1,431.40 for the list of e-mail addresses for Clinton supporters in New Mexico.
Denish supported Clinton and was the chairwoman for Clinton’s New Mexico campaign. Clinton won the caucus in New Mexico during the Democratic primary.
Denish is currently the only announced Democratic candidate for governor.
Denish was not the only candidate to rent the e-mail list, according to Politico:
Sens. Chuck Schumer of New York and Byron Dorgan of North Dakota; Reps. Artur Davis of Alabama (a candidate for governor), Paul Hodes of New Hampshire (who’s running for Senate) Mary Jo Kilroy of Ohio; New Mexico Lt. Gov. Diane Denish (who’s running for governor), Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter and Houston Mayor Bill White (who’s raising money for a Senate bid).
