Columbia Lawmakers Call for Haley to Return to SC, Focus on Jobs

Reps. James Smith and Mia Butler Garrick compared Haley to any other state worker who wouldn't be able to take a three-week vacation.

Gov. Nikki Haley has been MIA for the past few weeks, according to two state representatives who called for her return. James Smith and Mia Butler Garrick, both Democrats, held a press conference to ask Haley publicly to leave Charlotte and return to her job in South Carolina. Haley is currently at a Republican counter-convention in Charlotte while the Democratic National Convention goes on. Garrick called Haley the "Governor of Where?" in the press conference, a reference to her travels to other states. According to Smith and Garrick, North Carolina is the closest Haley has been to her office in weeks.
