ALBUQUERQUE (AP) - New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez will join a presidential delegation in traveling to Rome for the inauguration ceremony of Pope Francis.
The White House announced Friday that the Republican governor will be part of a delegation led by Vice President Joe Biden. Others in the delegation are U.S. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and Georgetown University President John DeGioia.
Francis is to be installed as pope on Tuesday.
A spokesman for Martinez said the governor will leave for Washington, D.C. on Saturday after the Legislature ends its 60-day session. The U.S. delegation departs early Sunday from the nation's capital for the trip to Rome.
The governor's office said Biden called the governor on Thursday to extend the invitation to join the delegation.
Martinez is the nation's first female Hispanic governor.
