President Donald Trump’s former press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced she is running for governor of Arkansas in 2022.
“To remain free we must have law and order and resolve our differences peacefully,” Sanders said in an eight-minute video. “The radical left’s solution is to impose government control and censorship from the top down, but their socialism and cancel culture will not heal America. It will only further divide and destroy us.”
Sanders pointed out that with “the radical left” in charge in D.C. “your governor is your last line of defense.” She promises to “defend your right to be free of socialism and tyranny.”
Sanders’ dad Mike Huckabee served as Arkansas governor from 1996 to 2007.
If Sanders wins she will be the state’s first female governor.
Sanders left her press secretary post in 2019. Many thought she would eventually run for office.
The Republican field includes Lt. Gov. Tim Griffin and Attorney General Leslie Rutledge. No Democrat has announced a candidacy.
