Newly elected Speaker of the House Ken Martinez sits down together with Senate Majority Floor Leader Michael Sanchez to talk about the upcoming session. Representative Martinez takes the post held by his father decades before and most recently by the late Ben Lujan. Senator Sanchez is coming off a victory in a rough-and-tumble election where his challenger was heavily supported by Governor Martinez. Together, the two control the ebb and flow of legislation.<\/p>\n<p>State Senator Mary Kay Papen charted a path to power for herself as she defeated the early choice of fellow Democrats, Pete Campos, to win the post of senate president pro tempore. Now, the Southern New Mexican will push for better representation of rural parts of the state, as well as her hometown of Las Cruces, the state\u2019s second largest city.<\/p>\n<p>GUESTS:<br \/>\nKen Martinez, D\u2013Grants, Speaker of the NM House of Representatives<br \/>\nMary Kay Papen, D\u2013Las Cruces, President Pro Tempore of the NM Senate<br \/>\nMichael Sanchez, D\u2013Belen, NM Senate Floor Majority Leader<\/p>\n<p>LINE GUESTS:<br \/>\nDiane Denish, Former Lieutenant Governor<br \/>\nWhitney Waite, The Waite Company<\/p>\n<p>LINE PANELISTS:<br \/>\nJamie Estrada, Agenda Global<br \/>\nSophie Martin, Editor in Chief, New Mexico Law Review<\/p>\n<p>CORRESPONDENT: Matt Grubs, NMiF Producer<\/p>\n<p>HOST\/COMMENTATOR: Gene Grant<\/p>\n<p>The Producer of NEW MEXICO IN FOCUS is Matt Grubs.\u00a0Associate Producer is Kathy Wimmer.
