The first Latino woman to be elected governor in the United States, Martinez is rapidly becoming an important national star for a Republican Party lacking in diversity. She is New Mexico's first female governor and her name is in the mix as a possible vice-presidential nominee in 2012.
This from The Fix’s Chris Cillizza:
“She was elected with relatively little fanfare in 2010 as the governor of New Mexico, the first Hispanic woman governor — Democrat or Republican — in the country. Romney has floated Martinez’s name as a potential vice president and the Land of Enchantment is regarded as a swing state this fall. Still, Martinez was the Dona Anna County District Attorney less than four years ago and may not yet be ready for the national spotlight.”
