Supporters of U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler say her candidacy brings a new perspective to Washington, and a new dimension to a Georgia Republican party looking for votes in Atlanta’s suburbs. That was a theme of her Monday rally with former South Carolina Governor and U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley.

Before several hundred people at the Cobb County Republican Party headquarters, Haley quoted a conservative politician she admires: Margaret Thatcher.
