LAS CRUCES, N.M.—A Democratic candidate for Congress on Tuesday wrote a $47.50 check to his campaign, staging an event to contrast his opponent's campaign loans worth $475,000.

Bill McCamley, a former Las Cruces real estate agent and Dona Ana County commissioner, is facing Harry Teague, who works in the oilfield services industry, in the June 3 primary election for the 2nd Congressional District race.

Teague made a $125,000 loan to his campaign last week, then followed with a $350,000 loan on Monday.

"I am not a millionaire or oil industry executive, but I am pleased to provide my campaign with this contribution," McCamley said.

"With gas prices reaching new records every day, this $47.50 will almost pay for our campaign's next tank of gas as we take our message of fixing Washington for the middle class across the 2nd District."
