Martinez did reveal that she’s been seriously considering running for higher office for some time in confirming that she closed her district attorney campaign account in December.
“I’ve always had aspirations for higher politics,” she said.
It’s true. Martinez has hinted to me since at least 2006 that she might someday run for governor.
