Nikki Haley for President Unveils Alaska Leadership Team
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — The Nikki Haley for President campaign today announced its Alaska leadership team. The elected officials, business and community leaders will provide crucial experience and insight as Alaskans head to the polls for the Super Tuesday primary on March 5, 2024.
“Alaskans are excited about Nikki Haley’s bold vision for the future and her commitment to making America energy dominant,” said Alaska Co-Chair Art Hackney. “Haley’s toughness and backbone resonate with Alaskan voters.
