47th Governor of Arkansas
Inaugurated on Jan. 10, 2023, Sarah Huckabee Sanders is the first woman to serve as governor of the state and the youngest governor in the country. She has enacted transformational, conservative reforms including Arkansas LEARNS, a sweeping overhaul of the state’s education system; public safety reforms to invest in prison space and get repeat offenders off the streets; tax cuts to give more taxpayer money back to Arkansans; the Natural State Initiative to grow Arkansas’ outdoor economy; and reforms to streamline state government.
Prior to her historic victory, she served as White House Press Secretary for President Donald J. Trump from 2017 to 2019. She was only the third woman — and the very first mom — to ever hold the job.
She grew up in Pine Bluff and Texarkana and is a proud graduate of Little Rock Central High School and Ouachita Baptist University. She lives in Little Rock with her husband, Bryan, their children Scarlett, Huck and George, and their golden retriever, Traveler.
