Two California tribes donate to Richardson campaign

Monday, July 16, 2007  

Two California tribes are among the donors to New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardon's presidential campaign.

The Sycuan Band of Kumeyaay Indians donated $2,300 to the Democratic candidate while the Morongo Band of Mission Indians donated $2,000. The contributions were reported by The Los Angeles Times, based on campaign finance reports filed over the weekend.

The reports showed Richardson with $7 million in donations in the second quarter and $7.1 million in the bank. His contributions have grown but he is still far behind Sen. Barack Obama, who raised $33 million in the same time period, and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, who raised $21.5 million.
