The New Mexico Senate elected Sen. Mary Kay Papen of Las Cruces as president pro tem, a move amid cross party coalitions that some fear may aid Gov. Susana Martinez’s agenda and 2014 re election. Papen secured support from Republicans and at least five Democrats, signaling a potentially more civil but strategically pivotal leadership.
