RGA Congratulates Governor-Elect Susana Martinez

The Republican Governors Association congratulates Susana Martinez on her election as the next governor of New Mexico. Martinez succeeds Democratic governor Bill Richardson. RGA was a major investor in Martinez’s victory, donating over $1.3 million to her campaign and $375,000 to the New Mexico Republican Party.

“Susana Martinez was a star for Republicans this cycle,” said RGA chairman Haley Barbour. “She handily won a very Democratic state by focusing on her message and the issues important to New Mexico. The Democrats threw everything they had at Susana because they recognized the bright future she has in the Republican Party.”
