Before Super Tuesday, Rep. Kane Tapped To Boost Nikki Haley

SHREWSBURY, MA — Republican state Rep. Hannah Kane will co-chair GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley's campaign in Massachusetts ahead of the Super Tuesday primary election.

Politico reported that Kane will join former MassGOP Chair Jennifer Nassour, state House minority leader Brad Jones former governor Charlie Baker's finance secretary Mike Heffernan in co-chairing the Massachusetts Women for Nikki group.

As of Wednesday, Haley was trailing former president Donald Trump in the delegate count 17 to 33 following contests in Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada. Voters in Massachusetts will go to the polls on March 5 to cast primary votes, along with voters in 14 other states from California to Maine.

Haley, the former South Carolina governor, served as Trump's ambassador to the United Nations, and is the only other Republican still in the presidential primary race. About one-third of all available delegates will be up for grabs on Super Tuesday. Kane helped Haley during the run-up to the New Hampshire primary, knocking on doors and talking to voters, according to GBH.

Kane is in the middle of her fifth term representing the Shrewsbury area, one of the few Republican state House members in the heavily Democratic eastern Worcester County and western Middlesex County area.
