Governor-elect Susana Martinez is expected join 14 other newly elected Republican governors for a meeting with incoming Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-Ohio. The main topic of discussion: Repealing health care reform
“Washington doesn’t have all the answers, and the best solutions usually come from outside the Beltway,” Boehner said in a press release. “Republicans may still be outnumbered in Washington, but with the American people and reform-minded governors standing with us, there’s a lot we can do together to stop runaway government spending and help small businesses get back to creating jobs.”
Republicans took over the House in the elections earlier this month and made large gains in the U.S. Senate.
In New Mexico, Republicans won one of the three Congressional seats this year. Neither of the two U.S. Senate seats in New Mexico were up for election this year.
