WASHINGTON – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Steele released the following statement today:

“Congratulations to all the New Mexican Republican candidates who won their primaries, and especially to Susana Martinez, who today becomes the first Hispanic woman nominated for Governor by either of the major parties in the United States.  Republicans everywhere can be proud of Martinez’s landmark achievement and the major national significance of her nomination by the Republican Party to be the next Governor of New Mexico. 

“New Mexico’s strong Republican leaders will stand up to Barack Obama’s spend first, tax later policies that have resulted in nearly 10 percent national unemployment, government-run healthcare, and a culture of political bailouts.  The Republican Party is excited to march towards the November elections with a clear message of less government, low taxes, fiscal responsibility, and support for small businesses.”
