DALLAS – Former State Senator Florence Shapiro of Plano is hoping Republicans and Independents will give Nikki Haley a serious look for President in the upcoming Texas primary. “I just found somebody I really, really liked.”
Former Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price agrees. “I love this gal. She’s not just about the politics, she’s about public service first and foremost.”
Price, Shapiro and Stacy Blakeley of Dallas, a volunteer for Haley’s campaign, are looking forward to Haley holding a campaign rally in at Gilley’s Dallas Thursday night.
Her event comes one year to the day after she entered the race for the White House.
Now, Haley, the former South Carolina governor and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, is the only other major Republican candidate in the race aside from the frontrunner, former President Donald Trump.
Price was among a group of Texas women who went to Iowa to campaign for Haley. A group “Women for Nikki” has formed.
