DERRY, N.H. (NEXSTAR) — Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley has been rallying voters across New Hampshire leading up to primary day. One topic, in particular, is engaging some potential voters.
The former governor hosted events at diners, sporting events, and small businesses this past week. Now, she is tackling the issue of schools, and connecting with parents over the American education system.
New Hampshire parent Eddie Smith explains the significance of this issue. “It’s a really big issue for me,” Smith said. “I think that our education system has declined dramatically since I went to school.”
At a campaign event on Sunday at Gilbert H. Hood Middle School, Haley reiterated her education policy, and left a lasting impression on some voters, like New Hampshire resident Deborah Bailin.
“I think it’s important for parents to understand what it is that their children are being taught and to have kind of access to the curriculum,” Bailin added.
