Sections 1-19-25 through 1-19-36 NMSA 1978 may be cited as the 'Campaign Reporting Act'. History: 1978 Comp., § 1-19-25, enacted by Laws 1979, ch. 360, § 1. ANNOTATIONSFederal election law expressly preempts state election law with respect to election to federal office. — The Federal Election Campaign Act, 52 U.S.C. §§ 30101 et seq., expressly provides that it, and the rules prescribed under it, supersede and preempt any provision of state law with respect to election to federal office, and would therefore preempt any interpretation or application of New Mexico's Campaign Reporting Act (act), 1-19-25 to 1-19-36 NMSA 1978, that would prevent a state candidate from donating campaign funds to a candidate for federal office. As a result, the New Mexico secretary of state does not have the authority under the act to restrict donations from a state candidate's campaign funds to federal candidates.
