Representative Nikki Haley (R-Lexington) released the following statement today announcing her intention to seek the Republican nomination for Governor of South Carolina:
"After months of encouragement from supporters all across the state and countless discussions with friends and family, I have decided to run for Governor of South Carolina. "For more than five years I've sat in the statehouse and watched - sometimes in disbelief - as our state government has spent with abandon and in the process wasted taxpayer dollar after taxpayer dollar. I know what good government can look like. I'm running for Governor so the people of this state will know what it feels like."
"We've got great challenges facing us in South Carolina, but also a world of opportunity. I have every confidence that with conservative leadership and a renewed commitment to the principles that have made America great - hard work, traditional values, promoting an atmosphere of opportunity over an environment of bailouts - South Carolina can be transformed into a state that's not always at the bottom but sits proudly at the top."
