"I absolutely advocate for comprehensive immigration reform." — Susana Martinez

As the first Hispanic female governor in history, little girls often come up to me in the grocery store or the mall. They look and point, and when they get the courage, they ask 'Are you Susana?' and they run up and give me a hug.

I am my own person.

New Mexico is an environment where we are open for business.

We talked about many issues, like welfare, is it the way of life or hand up? Talked about size of government, how much should it tax families and small businesses? And when we left that lunch, we got in the car and I looked over at Chuck and said, 'I'll be damned. we're Republicans.'

No child is un-teachable. I will never give up on any kid. Every child can learn.

Latinos care about education, yes, so we need reform, not just money.

Success is the American Dream. And that success is not something to be ashamed of, or to demonize.
