Nikki Haley is the former Governor of South Carolina. She served as Governor from 2011 to 2017. Haley also served as the 29th U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, from January 2017 through December 2018. In recent campaign events, she highlighted the bills she signed into law as governor, including a voter ID law, small business tax cuts, and “one of the toughest illegal immigration laws in the country,” (according to her campaign). She has also highlighted high rates of homelessness, suicide among veterans, conflicts abroad and education issues.

To solve some of the problems, Haley advocates for imposing term limits, administering a mental competency test for lawmakers over the age of 75, going after pandemic relief fraud and taking a hardline stance on the federal budget. New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu announced his presidential endorsement of Haley Tuesday evening, saying she is the “candidate with the momentum to win and get our party back on track to delivering conservative victories across the country.”
