SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney mentioned New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez as a possible running mate, but she says she's not interested.
Romney dropped the first-term Republican governor's name Friday during an interview on Fox News where he also mentioned the governors of New Jersey, Louisiana and South Carolina as possible running mates.
Our news partners at The Santa Fe New Mexican reports that Martinez spokesman Scott Darnell quashed the talk.
He issued a statement saying Martinez has no interest in serving as vice president.
Romney and Martinez have attended a few events together.
The former Las Cruces district attorney is starting her second year in office and is in the midst of a 30-day legislative session.
