Susana Martinez

The 30-day legislative session begins on Tuesday. I'll be introducing education reform initiatives to ensure children master the basics -- like reading -- before being passed from one grade to the next. My tax reform proposals will make New Mexico more competitive with surrounding states to help create new jobs. And I'll once again push to repeal the law that gives driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.

We've put our financial house in order and I'm optimistic about the opportunity we now have to transform New Mexico!
