ho doesn’t love a

success story? Many of us turn

to magazines, television, film

and even family or friends for

those inspiring tales of tri-

umph – especially as women

and especially when we need a

boost when the going gets tough.

South Carolina’s first female

governor, Nikki Haley, is a fine example of one such success

story – not just for women but also in the field of public

service. Haley, who has been in office since 2011, is consis-

tently in the spotlight thanks to her candor. Whether you

tend to vote Republican or Democrat, it’s hard not to give

her credit for being a strong woman.

Mount Pleasant Magazine

caught up with Haley for a

few questions during her visit to East Cooper for the Vol-

vo Car Open in April. She was happy to share her opinion

that “women bring a lot to the table” in both business and

politics.
