She served as the 31st President’s press secretary from 2017 to 2019, working for disgraced former President Donald Trump. She was the third woman to hold the role of President’s press secretary.
Before joining Trump’s 2016 campaign, Sanders worked on the electoral campaigns of her father, Mike Huckabee, a former governor of Arkansas and presidential candidate. After working for Trump, Sanders ran as the Republican candidate for governor of Arkansas in 2022 and quickly won.
Trump announced that Sanders would be quitting her position as press secretary in a tweet in June 2019.
On January 25, 2021, she declared her campaign for governor of Arkansas with Trump’s support. The Democratic candidate Chris Jones and the Libertarian candidate Ricky Dale Harrington were her opponents in the November 2022 election after she won the Republican nomination in May 2022.
