Marlys Popma was an undecided voter when she arrived for a town hall meeting last week at DMACC Newton Campus. That all changed when she met Nikki Haley.

In a video posted by Haley's campaign, Popma — who is resident of Kellogg and a former executive director of the Republican Party of Iowa — said on Nov. 17 she is no longer an undecided voter and "wholeheartedly" supports the former South Carolina governor and former United Nations ambassador.

"I never told you this when you were first talking to me," she said. "But I was leaning toward Trump, and she's kind of flipped me. She's a very good leader."

New Hampshire state Rep. Stephen Pearson said he was impressed by Haley's performance at the first GOP debate, but wanted to hear her off the debate stage. By the end of the town hall, he'd decided to endorse her.

Pearson said he appreciated Haley's efforts to share "hard truths" – things people need to hear even if they may not like it. And as a lieutenant in the Manchester Fire Department, he appreciated her comments on fentanyl, which has made the ongoing opioid epidemic in the city worse.
