Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley is pulling out all the stops ahead of Super Tuesday and building out her statewide leadership teams.

Haley announced on Wednesday that her efforts to secure Massachusetts’ 40 delegates at this year’s Republican National Convention will be led by former MassGOP Chairwoman Jennifer Nassour and co-chaired by state House Minority Leader Brad Jones, among others.

“Nikki Haley is a once-in-a-generation candidate: she’s got the tone, the experience, and the principle to lead our country into a bright future,” Nassour said. “Bay Staters are ready for a new generational leader who takes on the insiders in Washington, and they’re excited about Nikki.”

Nassour, who led the state Republican party from 2009 through 2011, told the Herald that Haley — the only candidate still standing in the ring with former President Donald Trump — can make ground against her former boss in Massachusetts. Voters in the Bay State are not generally swayed by the major parties, she said, and that independent swath of the electorate is exactly where the former South Carolina governor finds her support.

“In Massachusetts, 62% of our electorate is actually unenrolled voters and around eight percent are Republicans,” she explained.

Several other states that will also vote on March 5 use a similar semi-open primary system, where an unaffiliated voter can grab a ballot from either party. Nassour thinks even some liberal minded voters will take the opportunity to choose Nikki.

“There is nothing going on on the Democratic side,” Nassour said. “Why wouldn’t you want to effectuate a change for democracy, for the good of the country? As Nikki says, we have a country to save.”

Haley has her work cut out for her if she hopes to make it beyond Super Tuesday. So far she has lost but outperformed expectations in Iowa and New Hampshire, but then failed to join the caucus in Nevada where she managed to lose a delegate-less primary to the entry “none of these candidates.”

According to aggregate polling information provided by RealClearPolitics, Haley trails Trump nationally by more than 50 points and in her home state of South Carolina by more than 30.

Despite that, she seems confident that she can speak to Massachusetts voters.

“Bay Staters know that government is at its best when it gets out of the way of the people,” Haley said in a statement. “They are fed up with Joe Biden’s high taxes and out-of-control spending. Together we will fight for a new generation of conservative leadership and freedom for every American.”

The states and delegates up for grabs on Super Tuesday, according to Ballotpedia, are Alabama (50); Arkansas (40); Alaska (29); California (169); Colorado (37); Hawaii (19); Maine (20); Massachusetts (40); Minnesota (39); North Carolina (74); Oklahoma (43); Tennessee (58); Texas (161); Utah (40); Vermont (17); and Virginia (48).
