Earlier this year, as former New Hampshire House Speaker Donna Sytek began considering which Republican presidential candidate to back, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio was at the very top of her list. The charismatic Floridian was also a favorite for Wayne MacDonald, the former Republican Party chairman in the state.
