Haley Campaign Press Release - Haley Releases Iowa Ad Featuring Conservative Leader Marlys Popma
CHARLESTON, S.C. — The Nikki Haley for President campaign released a new ad today in Iowa featuring Marlys Popma, a champion for the pro-life cause.
Popma is a two-time president of Iowa Right to Life and two-time executive director of the Iowa GOP. The Des Moines Register listed her on its "Iowa's 50 Most Wanted" list of Iowa activists, caucus organizers, and influencers. She endorsed Haley at a town hall in Newton, Iowa in November.
In the ad, Popma shares her personal story with voters, explaining that her passion for fighting for the unborn came from her own unplanned pregnancy. She is supporting Nikki Haley because she knows Haley will stand up to the radical left, defend girls' sports from wokeness run amok, and work to save as many babies and help as many moms as possible.
"Marlys Popma is a conservative icon in Iowa," Haley spokesperson Olivia Perez-Cubas said. "She has spent a lifetime fighting for the unborn and helping Iowa Republicans win. Her message of support for Nikki speaks volumes."
