Oil and gas is again at the forefront of Martinez’s re-election campaign, contributing nearly half a million dollars to her war chest through June. But Yates hasn’t given a nickel. What changed between now and then?
Republicans hope to end a political dynasty in New Mexico this fall. They have not controlled the state House of Representatives since 1954, the year that Brown v. Topeka Board of Education desegregated public schools and Ernest Hemingway received the Nobel Prize for literature. The GOP says this could be its breakthrough year based on a couple of factors. It’s a midterm election, and Democrats could be weaker overall than in 2012, when President Barack Obama headed the national ticket and helped increase turnout for candidates down the ballot. In addition, Republican Gov. Susana Martinez is running for re-election this fall. She is leading by several points in most polls and has an advantage of more than $3 million in campaign funding over Democratic challenger Gary King. Republican legislative candidates are optimistic that Martinez’s coattails will be long enough to help flip the House of Representatives. For their part, Democrats say they can pick up a handful of seats that were lost in close races two years ago. Democrats head into the November

arvey Yates Jr. is a wealthy oilman and looks the part — a tall, lean, white-haired son of the Southern New Mexico plains. And like many of his counterparts in the industry, he is unabashedly conservative, unapologetically Republican. He’s contributed hundreds of
thousands of dollars to the GOP cause. And four years ago, he was state party chairman, presiding over the party during an election when a little-known district attorney from Las Cruces named Susana Martinez seemingly came out of nowhere and won the Republican primary and later the general election. Yates contributed $25,000 to Martinez through his company and lined up friends in the oil business to
