Former Gov. Nikki Haley endorsed Republican Ellen Weaver in the race for state superintendent of education, calling her “a leader in everything she’s ever touched” who will help teachers and empower parents despite her having never taught in a classroom.
Haley made the announcement Oct. 24 while standing and smiling alongside Weaver before the two headlined a rally that doubled as a fundraiser in downtown Charleston.
The event, which was held inside an upscale private dining room, was not open to the press but Haley and Weaver took questions from the media beforehand.
