While Sheriff Manuel Gonzales is busy fighting a decision that cost him over $600,000 in public campaign funding, a political action committee working to get him elected Albuquerque s next mayor showed it has dramatically out-raised the opposition.
The Save Our City committee – which is supporting Gonzales in this year s race – brought in $52,500 in cash in the last month, according to a campaign finance report filed Monday.
That s compared to the $9,235 in cash contributions collected by Build Back Burque, the committee backing Mayor Tim Keller in his reelection bid.
Save Our City now has an $84,969 cash balance. Build Back Burque has $17,885.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.- Supporters of Bernalillo County Sheriff Manny Gonzales, who is running to be Albuquerque s next mayor, are taking aim at current mayor, Tim Keller.
Members of the Save Our City political action committee voiced their concerns about the mayoral race after the city clerk denied Gonzales access to public financing.
The decision was based on evidence provided to the city clerk that call into question more than 140 signatures collected by the Gonzales campaign to secure the public financing. We feel that this is a total abuse of power, Sam Vigil said. The city clerk was appointed by the mayor, and that to me is a conflict of interest. That should have never happened.
