Speaker of the House

With President-elect Trump set to take office in January, California Gov. Gavin Newsom has called his state’s Legislature into a special session to protect its policies against Trump’s agenda. New Mexico House Speaker Javier Martínez says his state is already “Trump-proof.”

New Mexico House Speaker Javier Martinez is the only Democratic leader facing a challenge this election. Republican Bart Kinney is running a longshot campaign to oust the five-term lawmaker in a heavily Democratic district.
