The People Have Spoken
Letters to the editors are coming fast and furious and the results are in: The people love Nikki Haley.
Greenville Online: "As the owner of a small business, I want a president who will cut the red tape, gut regulations, and look out for the little guy. I know Nikki Haley will do that as president, because I watched her do it as governor. During her tenure, she turned South Carolina into the 'Beast of the Southeast' and made our state an economic powerhouse." (Greenville Online, 6/2/23)
New Hampshire Union Leader: "I attended Nikki Haley's recent Vets for Nikki town hall. I heard a multi-point plan to protect veterans including more health care options and widespread mental health screening. I also heard a presidential candidate speak for an extended time with no notes, no podium, and no teleprompter, as she addressed the top issues in our country with practical solutions." (New Hampshire Union Leader, 6/2/23) Concord Monitor: "Nikki Haley, this is a serious contender in the presidential race. The daughter of Indian immigrants, an accountant, a two-term governor of South Carolina, and ambassador to the United Nations where she took the 'kick me' sign off the United States! While governor of South Carolina, they amassed an impressive list of accomplishments. She speaks her mind." (Concord Monitor, 5/30/23)
