She stopped running for others and stepped into governor's shoes
She insists that her administration will continue require competitive bidding on contracts and that patronage as it was once known here is ''dead and buried and won't be revived,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].''
But she says she does not consider providing jobs for loyal,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], ''qualified'' workers who have put in long hours for the party as patronage. She has already appointed two of her top fund-raisers to key cabinet posts. And she has earmarked a sizable chunk of her campaign surplus to help repay debts of the state Democratic Party headquarters here.
Mrs. Collins is viewed by many as a highly skilled political strategist. She pushed hardest for higher standards in education, from competency tests for grade school and high school graduates to establishment of a statewide disciplinary code.
She deftly avoided taking strong stands on such controversial issues as a right-to-work law. It was, as her campaign press secretary Hank Lindsey describes it, a deliberate ''lie low'' strategy designed to avoid giving any added credibility to Mr. Bunning's candidacy. Mrs. Collins rarely mentions her opponents in any election, managing to keep any antagonism minimal. One former opponent became her campaign manager.
She grew up as an only child in the small town of Bagdad in central Kentucky, where she learned how to do everything from fish to drive a tractor. An active Baptist, she met her husband at a Baptist summer camp during her college years. He is both a dentist and a banker,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and was a key fund-raiser in this year's campaign.
''He's always been someone I run things by, and sometimes he has the scoop on my decisions,'' she says of his current role. ''But he's into a lot of things and he's pretty much his own person.''
The Collinses' daughter,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Marla, is a junior majoring in communications at the University of Kentucky,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], her mother's alma mater. It is 22-year-old Steve who has the stronger interest in politics. Expecting to head soon for law school, he has been a state Senate page and played an active role in his mother's campaign.
The family will soon be moving from the lieutenant governor's mansion into the governor's mansion - Kentucky is one of the few states with a mansion for each of its top two elected officials.
Just as the campaign preceding it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the job shows every sign,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Mrs. Collins says,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], of being all-consuming. ''Government is not an 8-to-5 job,'' she says. ''You can delegate and relegate in business hours,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but that's not,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in my opinion , what it's all about. You're never finished. There's always something else you could be doing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], somebody else you could be calling.''
Accordingly, the governor-elect says she has had little time for movies, concerts,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or reading unless they are work-connected.
''I start books but I don't always get them finished - I have a long list that people have said I need to read.'' In sports,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], she has largely given up golf and tennis in favor of walking and at-home exercises.
Martha Layne Collins has come a long way in the 12 years since she began as a volunteer in the Kentucky gubernatorial campaign of US Sen. Wendell Ford (D). In recognition of her effort, he appointed her to the Democratic National Committee in 1972.
Now she is increasingly mentioned as a vice-presidential prospect. ''It's an honor and a compliment to be considered.''
Would she then consider such a role? ''I don't think you can ever say what you'll do. You just have to do your best each day,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. We don't know what the future holds for any of us,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].''
