New Mexico’s new Governor Susana Martinez is a role model for Latinas, the Albuquerque Journal’s Leslie Linthicum writes today.
How did she win? “Martinez Protected Base, Attracted Dems,” according to the Journal’s Sean Olson.
Martinez has begun putting together her transition team, the Las Cruces Sun-News’ Steve Ramirez says.
The New Mexican has a story from Kate Nash about Martinez’s husband, Chuck Franco, a Doña Ana County undersheriff who now becomes the state’s first gentleman.
Martinez will also get a boost from new GOP members of the state House, the New Mexican’s Steve Terrell reports.
