From NMPolitics.net - In a further sign of her rising national star power, Gov.-elect Susana Martinez was chosen by her Republican peers on Thursday to be on the Republican Governors Association’s leadership team. According to The National Journal, Martinez will be an at-large member of the leadership committee. There’s lots of new diversity among GOP governors, and they were quick to tout it at Thursday’s meeting.

Mr. Pawlenty introduced them in a panel discussion, ‘The New Face of the G.O.P.,’ the group’s not-so-subtle way of highlighting a burst of diversity in its ranks. With Mr. Jindal, an Indian-American, and Gov. Brian Sandoval of Nevada, there will be two Hispanic and two Indian-American Republican governors.
“… Later, Mr. Pawlenty called Ms. Martinez and Ms. Haley ‘clear stars’ in a new class of governors that reflected ‘different walks of life.’” Read here:
