Haley Campaign Press Release - Nikki Haley Picks Up Big Minnesota Endorsement

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. — As Minnesotans prepare to head to the polls on Super Tuesday, Nikki Haley earned the endorsement of a Minnesota Republican heavyweight: former U.S. Senator Rudy Boschwitz. The endorsement came as Haley addressed more than 1,500 people at a rally in Bloomington on Monday night.

"Senator Boschwitz embodies the American dream. He fled the Nazi regime, started a successful family business, and served our country as a soldier, a senator, and an ambassador," said Haley. "He's fought for conservative policies at home and peace through strength abroad, and I am honored to have his endorsement."

"Ambassador Haley represents a new generation of conservative leadership that's focused on a return to normalcy and conservative values: fiscal discipline, standing for our allies, and lifting people up," said Senator Boschwitz.

Rudy Boschwitz has long fought to bring principled conservative leadership to the U.S. Senate and Minnesota. He was born to a Jewish family in Berlin in 1930. His family fled the country as Adolf Hitler rose to power, ultimately settling in New York. Senator Boschwitz earned his J.D. from New York University and started a successful home improvement business in Minnesota before serving in the U.S. Senate. He also served as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Commission on Human Rights under President George W. Bush.
