Sarah Elizabeth Huckabee Sanders (born August 13, 1982) is an American political aide, currently serving as Principal Deputy White House Press Secretary. She is the daughter of former governor of Arkansas and presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, and former Arkansas first lady Janet Huckabee.
Sanders was born in Hope, Arkansas, the youngest child and only daughter of Mike Huckabee, the former Governor of Arkansas, and Janet Huckabee. She has two brothers, John Mark and David Huckabee, an Arkansas mortgage broker. She attended Little Rock Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. She matriculated at Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia, Arkansas, where she was elected student body president and was active in Republican organizations and other student groups.
Sanders' introduction to politics began as a child, when her father first ran for Governor of Arkansas in 1992. Describing the unsuccessful campaign to The Hill, she said "He didn't really have much of a staff, so our family has been very engaged and very supportive of my dad. I was stuffing envelopes, I was knocking on doors, I was putting up yard signs." Her father described her childhood, saying, "I always say that when most kids are seven or eight years old out jumping rope, she was sitting at the kitchen table listening to political commentators analyze poll results." Huckabee also added that, being his youngest child, Sanders was spoiled at times, but her parents worked to instill a good work ethic in all their children.
Sanders got her start in politics serving as a field coordinator for her father's 2002 re-election campaign for Governor of Arkansas.
