Politico profiles New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez and Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval

 

Western Governors continue to draw attention from national media outlets.

The latest to earn coverage are New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez and Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval, who is the incoming WGA Vice Chairman.

The  governors earned a close-up look on July 29 from Politico, which covers all things politics both inside and outside Washington, D.C., for managing to "strike the balance that (Republican) party brass say is critical to the party’s future: staying true to the core message of smaller government and lower taxes without alienating Latinos and women on social issues."

The story also notes "both governors now have approval ratings near or above the 60 percent mark, according to polls. A SurveyUSA poll in May showed Martinez with 66 percent approval rating ... and Sandoval had a 58 percent approval rating in a November Public Policy Polling survey.  Read the story.
