Streicker, Haley
Nikki Haley, one of the national Republican Party’s leading female political figures, has endorsed Margaret Streicker’s campaign for Congress.
Streicker, a Republican, faces incumbent Democrat Rosa DeLauro and Green Party candidate Justin Paglino in the Nov. 3 general election for New Haven’s Third U.S. Congressional District seat.
Streicker’s campaign announced the Haley endorsement in a press release issued Wednesday. Haley, a former South Carolina governor and then Donald Trump’s first U.N. ambassador, is often mentioned as a future presidential candidate.
“As a single mom, a businesswoman who’s created hundreds of jobs for her state, and a community leader, she’s ready for any challenge that comes her way,” the release quoted Haley saying of Streicker.
