Aiken Standard publishes Informative Article

Todays Aiken Standard carried a very informative article about Nikki Haley who is running for Governor of South Carolina. Nikki is a proven fiscal conservative and has lead the fight in the Statehouse for recording all votes. Transparency is desperately needed if we are ever to rein in the profligate spenders we have endured for far too long.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Nikki Haley said there are clear differences that separate her from her three opponents.

During a reception that drew more than 100 people at the Aiken County Historical Museum on Wednesday, Haley said she supports workers' compensation reform and tort reform, unlike Attorney General Henry McMaster.

Congressman Gresham Barrett supported the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), Haley said, and that program led to Wall Street bailouts, the automobile bailouts and increasing federal intrusion.

Regarding Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer, "There are differences ... and I'm not going to say anything about that," Haley said.

She cited one of her main themes, how she has taken on the Republican leadership as a representative from Lexington County. Haley had quickly risen through the ranks since her upset victory over a veteran incumbent in 2004 but lost committees and leadership roles after insisting on pursuing transparency in voting in the House two years ago.

  1. I was dragged to the event by a friend - and am I glad. I am a convert. A week ago, I sent a check to another candidate and now I wish I hadn't. Nikki Haley is the person who should be our next Governor. She gave a good, informative speach that told us who she is and what she will do as Governor - with details and facts. The others don't do that. At the State House, she has been willing to stick with her principles and live with the consequences of opposing the leadership, even when they stripped her of good assignments. She is smart, strong, has integrity and will do what is best for our state. How refreshing!
