About New Mexico In Depth’s lobbyist data

People, Power and Democracy
This story is part of a reporting partnership between New Mexico In Depth, KUNM and NMPBS that attempts to pull back the curtain on how the New Mexico Legislature works and, in some cases, doesn’t. New Mexico In Depth downloaded web pages from the New Mexico Secretary of State on lobbyists, employers and details on specific expenses from both groups. Data from amended reports was ignored, and only the most recent filings were used. Filings of 48-hour reports of spending of $500 or more were compared with filings made on standard filing dates of Jan. 15 and May 15, and duplicates were removed.
