Celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month - Susana Martinez, first US female Hispanic governor
Susana Martinez is the first female governor of the state of New Mexico and the first ever Hispanic female to become governor of a U.S. state. She grew up Democrat but changed parties in 1995. She was elected in 2011 and was re-elected in 2013.
She studied law at the University of Oklahoma where she met her husband. Early in her gubentorial career, she was listed as one of the most popular governors in the U.S. As of late, her popularity has slipped.
In 2013, Time Magazine named her as one of the 100 most Influential People in the world.
