Martinez To Start 2nd Term As New Mexico Governor

Office of the Governor

A public inauguration ceremony for Gov. Susan Martinez is planned New Year's Day at the State Capitol.

This time, she's taking the show inside.

The Republican is scheduled to take the oath of office for her second term inside the House chamber while Santa Fe battles freezing temperatures. Martinez held her first inauguration ceremony four years ago outside in frigid weather.

After the ceremony, Martinez will host a "Governor's True Inaugural Ball" at the Albuquerque Convention Center later Thursday.

She entered her second term with a GOP-controlled House and a Democratic-led Senate.
