Current Position: Governor from 2023
Affiliation: Republican

Sarah Elizabeth Huckabee Sanders was the 31st White House press secretary, serving under President Donald Trump from 2017 to 2019.

She was the third woman to serve in that position. Sanders previously worked on the election campaigns of her father, Arkansas governor and presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, and later served as a senior advisor on Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. Sanders is the Republican nominee in the 2022 Arkansas gubernatorial election.

She is the first woman to hold the office, the first woman to be governor of a state of which her father was also governor, and the youngest current governor.

The 2022 Arkansas gubernatorial election will take place on November 8, 2022, to elect the governor of Arkansas. Incumbent Republican Governor Asa Hutchinson is term-limited and cannot seek re-election to a third term. Arkansas is one of the eight states and one territory of the United States that limit governors to two terms for life in their constitutions, along with California, Delaware, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, the Northern Mariana Islands, and Oklahoma. The winner of the 2022 gubernatorial election is scheduled to be sworn in on January 10, 2023.

Primary elections in Arkansas were held on May 24. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is the Republican candidate and Chris Jones is the Democratic candidate

Growing up in Pine Bluff, I saw my parents make sacrifices to build a better life for our family and how they cared for our neighbors, friends and church. My wife Dr. Jerrilyn Jones and I are raising our girls with those same deeply Arkansan values of my childhood: hope, faith & hard work.
