Dear Ms. Pratt,

Thank you for your note about the Presidential election =E2=80=93 it is always helpful to me to hear from folks across South Carolina.  Most of all, I appreciate your engagement in our political process.  There is nothing I have fought harder for since first running for public office than increasing the involvement of South Carolinians in our government.  It's the best thing we can all do for our state.  

This has certainly been a different kind of election, and a different kind of year.  I believe that one of the great things about this country is our electoral process in that we can have differing opinions, we can vote for different people and, in the end, someone wins, someone loses, and we have the peaceful transfer of power from one individual to the next.  It=E2=80=99= s a unique system of which we should all be proud.
    
I have been quite public about where I stand on this election, as I believe you have the right to know how your governor will vote but, since you took the time to write, I will re-iterate my thoughts.  I am a proud Republican.  I believe that our Party represents the best path forward for our state and our nation and the best hope for our future.  I also believe, entirely, in the will of the people.  Donald Trump is the Republican nominee for President because he won our Party's primary.  It is this simple: more Republican voters voted for him than they did for any other candidate.  I have long said that I will respect the will of those voters and support our nominee, and that is what I intend to do come Election Day. 

Again, thank you for taking the time to write me.  I hope to hear from you again in the future. 


My very best,

Nikki R. Haley
