Haley Campaign Press Release - Nikki Haley Unveils Louisiana Leadership Team

BATON ROUGE, LA – Today, the Nikki Haley for President campaign unveiled its Louisiana leadership team. The team is made up of former and current elected officials, business leaders, and influential community members who will offer key support and valuable insight as Louisianans head to the polls on Saturday, March 23, 2024.

"Here in Louisiana, we care about our friends, our family, and our community. But in order to reverse the damage and pain that Joe Biden has caused, we need new leadership in Washington. We need to elect a conservative who will fix the border, strengthen our economy, and make our education system something to be proud of. The only candidate who will get the job done is Nikki Haley," said Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser and co-chair of the leadership team.

"Nikki Haley is a principled and pragmatic leader—the kind of leader these times demand. She is a role model, someone young women and girls can look up to, and the best candidate for the job. Louisianans are hopeful about Nikki Haley's commitment to making America energy dominant, keeping our neighborhoods safe, and ensuring that the next generation can achieve the American dream," said Cassie Alsfeld, co-chair of the leadership team.

"Louisianans are ready for a new generation of conservative leadership that will put their needs first," said Nikki Haley. "Our Louisiana team is made up of strong leaders across the state who are fed up with Joe Biden's out-of-control spending and understand we have a country to save in 2024."
