Mike Huckabee Announces Arkansas Leadership Team

Huckabee: "I'm energized by the groundswell of conservative support we have across the Natural State."

LITTLE ROCK, Ark.- Former Arkansas Governor and 2016 GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee announced his Arkansas leadership team today, which includes Governor Asa Hutchinson, Senator John Boozman, and Representatives Crawford, Hill and Westerman. The
Washington Post reported that Huckabee is building a "southern firewall".  

"Mike Huckabee was a Republican governor when Arkansas was as blue as any state in the nation. He had to govern in a bipartisan way. He led our state with conviction. He led our state with conservative values. He lowered our taxes, reformed education and preserved our hunting and outdoor culture. He was a great leader of Arkansas, and he did it by reaching out to the other side and saying 'join me.' That is the type of leadership we need on the national stage. Mike Huckabee has a vision for America. He has good conservative values, and he is a proven leader," said Governor Asa Hutchinson.

"I endorse Mike Huckabee for President because he's a rock-solid conservative and communicator with common sense Arkansas values. He has proven he can effectively govern and lead with vision, which is exactly what our nation needs after the Obama's administration's record of failures and dysfunction. Governor Huckabee will get our country back on track and that is why he has my full support," said Senator John Boozman.

Gov. Huckabee also released the following statement:
"I'm energized by the groundswell of conservative support we have across the state. Brick by brick, we have built a strong grassroots team that is swelling across the country that will power us through the Republican primary."

The Huckabee for President campaign also announced leadership in Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee today. The following is a list of endorsements and members of the "Huckabee for President Leadership Team" in Arkansas.
