/EINPresswire.com/ Las Cruces, NM - Greg Sowards, small businessman and conservative Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, announced today that his campaign will show $496,732.82 cash on hand after collecting $231,144 in the third quarter.

Sowards has proven to be a formidable competitor in the race for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate, posting more money in the second quarter than fellow candidate, Lt. Governor John Sanchez.

"New Mexico's Republicans don't want another career politician like John Sanchez and Heather Wilson to serve as the state's next U.S. Senator," said Sowards.

"We are on the edge of a conservative revolution, and I am at the forefront of this movement," continued Sowards.

"There is no doubt that I will have the resources necessary to run a compelling and competitive race. The voters of this state will have to make a choice between a true conservative like me or two career politicians who will try to say anything to get elected," concluded Sowards.

Sowards has been called "New Mexico's GOP Sleeper Candidate" by National Journal and is proving again today that he is going to be a force in the New Mexico Republican Primary for U.S. Senate.
