Former Trump Press Secretary Becomes State’s First Female Governor
Republican Arkansas gubernatorial candidate Sarah Huckabee Sanders won her race against Democratic nominee Chris Jones, according to multiple election forecasters.
The former White House press secretary under former President Donald Trump had won 71.6%, while Jones won 26.9% with 4% reporting, according to the AP. Sanders is the first female governor of Arkansas, and her father, Mike Huckabee, previously served as Arkansas governor from 1996 to 2007.
Congratulations, @SarahHuckabee!
I'm grateful to call you a friend and now our governor-elect.
Arkansans will be safer and more prosperous with your conservative leadership.
