Gov. Martinez To Promote Her Work At GOP Convention

Office of the Governor

A testy and guarded relationship between Donald Trump and New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez shows little sign of change as she and other GOP delegates make their way to the Republican National Convention next week in Cleveland.

As of Friday, Martinez was withholding her endorsement of Trump even as she leads her state's 24-member delegation to the convention to cast their first-round ballots for the New York businessman.

In declining to endorse Trump, Martinez will stay clear of the speaker's podium and public spotlight. Instead, she will work the isles and backrooms to promote her work as a second-term governor and chairwoman of the Republican Governors Association, a major fundraising arm of the GOP dedicated to the election of Republican governors across the country.
