Staff Report

BERNALILLO – Presidential Candidate Carly Fiorina was the keynote speaker at the Republican Party of New Mexico’s Silver Elephant Dinner Saturday night at the Hyatt Regency Tamaya in Bernalillo.

Gov. Susana Martinez, Lt. Gov. John Sanchez, U.S. Rep. Steve Pearce and RPNM Chairman Debbie Maestas also attended the event. Fiorina announced in May that she will seek the Republican nomination for president in the 2016 election. The former CEO of Hewlett-Packard is the first female candidate to officially jump in the race on the Republican side.

Making history as the first woman to run a Fortune 50 company, Fiorina served as HP’s chief executive from 1999 to 2005. In 2010, Fiorina ran for the U.S. Senate, seeking to unseat Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif.  

Fiorina and her husband Frank, a retired AT&T executive, have been married for 30 years and have two grandchildren.
