Britt McKenzie, Republican Nominee for House District 7 – @SarahHuckabee is the real deal and her plan for promoting public safety in AR is the only path for keeping our great State safe and secure for future generations.”


Law Enforcement Officials
Carol Crews, prosecuting attorney, 20th judicial district – “With violent crime on the rise across our country and in Arkansas’ capital city, we need harsher penalties for repeat and violent offenders. I am glad to see Sarah acknowledge this in her campaign and to take necessary steps to ensure we can protect the people in our communities from those who choose to do others harm.”

Daniel Shue, prosecuting attorney, 12th judicial district- “Today, Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced her plan for public safety in Arkansas, and she offers a tough but fair approach to the crime problems being faced by Arkansans. Sanders opined that Arkansans should never consider defunding the police, and her determined decision to increase our prison capacity will serve to incarcerate violent criminals which allows space in our county jails to be utilized for misdemeanants and participants who receive specialty court sanctions. In short, her planned policies will provide for “a safer, stronger Arkansas”. We can never feel free unless we feel safe.”

Nathan Smith, prosecuting attorney, 19th judicial district – “In order to ensure that Arkansas remains a great place to live, work, and raise a family, we must first prioritize public safety. An expanded prison system is needed to keep violent and repeat felons off our streets. I applaud Sarah for rejecting the radical, soft-on-crime policies that have ruined so many American cities and instead putting the needs of law-abiding citizens before criminals.”

Chris Walton, prosecuting attorney, 22nd judicial district – “Sarah Huckabee Sanders correctly identifies critical problems with our criminal justice system. Lack of capacity in our state prisons is a major problem. Our county jails house too many state prisoners. In addition, inadequate capacity dictates outcomes when it comes to parolees who violate their parole. The citizens of Arkansas expect parolees to be supervised and revoked if parole is violated. I applaud Sarah’s decision to not only highlight these issues, but also her commitment to correcting them.”

Lafayette County Judge Danny Ormond – “As County Judge and as a former a Sheriff I am proud to hear today’s announcement on public safety by Sarah Sanders. Over the last several years I have seen our local law enforcement officers become more and more frustrated with criminals in our county. With overcrowding in our state facilities and local jails being fill to maximum capacity it is great to hear we are going to tackle this issue under Sarah Sanders.”

Baxter County Sheriff John Montgomery – “As an 18-year veteran Sheriff, I am excited to hear about Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ plan for public safety. For many years the can has been kicked down the road because no one wanted to tackle this tough issue. It is refreshing to know she is committed to do what is necessary to protect Arkansans from violent felons and repeat offenders and to stand up for the victims of crime.”

Faulkner County Sheriff Tim Ryals – ”As Sheriff of Faulkner County, I witness daily the reality of recidivism, shortened sentences, parolees committing crimes that have no consequences, mental health issues, and of course, overcrowding issues in our jail. It is a breath of fresh air to hear that Sarah Sanders is in tune with the needs of the citizens and with the law enforcement communities across the state of Arkansas. Sarah has made a commitment to place a priority on Public Safety providing resources for agencies and prisons, and she recognizes that victims have rights, too! I personally know the character, heart, and sincerity of Sarah, and I know that every bullet point stated in her letter will be addressed when she becomes our next Governor. Thank you, Sarah Sanders, for your commitment to those who protect the families of Faulkner County and the state of Arkansas.”

Jefferson County Sheriff Lafayette Woods Jr. – “Sarah’s public safety plan embodies the importance of understanding that a comprehensive public safety plan is a critical element in working towards solving key public safety concerns for Arkansans. Her plan provides hope of the benefit of communities in Arkansas being stronger and safer through the strengthened collaborative efforts of public safety stakeholders within Arkansas.”

Randolph County Sheriff Kevin Bell – “Violent crime is out of control in Arkansas. We need a strong pro police Governor who is willing to help law enforcement and will push for laws and policies that will help combat crime. Sarah is the person for the job!!”

Saline County Sheriff Rodney Wright – “It’s refreshing to hear that our state has a gubernatorial candidate who not only recognizes but acknowledges violent crime in Arkansas and offers solutions as well. Peace is not obtained through weakness. The strengths of political candidates, law enforcement leaders, and community leaders are the secrets to success.”

Union County Sheriff Ricky Roberts – “With all the negativity surrounding law enforcement it is exciting to have Gubernatorial Candidate Sarah Sanders, that not only supports the men and women of law enforcement, but stands beside us in our efforts to make our communities in Arkansas a safer place to live.”

White County Sheriff Phillip Miller – “As the chief law enforcement officer of the county, I know that the primary role of government is the safety and security of our citizens. Sarah Huckabee Sanders knows that as well and has a great plan to address the issues facing us. I am proud to support her, and I ask each of you to support her as our next Arkansas governor!”

Sergeant Matt Huckabay, Mississippi County Sheriff’s Office – “Sarah’s public safety plan is a fantastic and fair plan that will help make Arkansas a better place to raise a family.”


Organizations
Arkansas Association of Chiefs of Police Executive Director Gary Sipes – “The Arkansas Association of Chiefs of Police would like to assert our support for Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ plan for Public Safety and specifically her plan to devote resources to increase prison capacity. It is imperative that violent criminals are kept behind bars and that the backlog in county jails is addressed.”

Arkansas Sheriffs’ Association Director Scott Bradley- “The Arkansas Sheriffs’ Association is excited to hear that gubernatorial candidate Sarah Huckabee Sanders has a plan for Arkansas public safety. It is time that we address the violent crime, illegal drugs that are plaguing our state, and a failing parole system. The men and women in law enforcement need support now more than ever!”

Arkansas State Police Association President Coty Williams- “Our members took an oath to protect the property and life of the citizens of our great state. Not one of them took the oath in hopes they would prosper financially. They did it because of their calling to serve. The nature of their job is affected by many different things. One thing that they are directly affected by is public policy, good and bad.  While we can’t (and don’t) endorse political candidates, we can praise good public policy. Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ announcement of her public safety policy deserves praise. Our members are affected by violent criminals every day. Often, they are repeat offenders who have seen no real consequences. Our members and the public deserve better. This type of tough on crime policy and support of law enforcement embraced by political leaders like Sanders and others, places them standing squarely behind our members’ mission. This will allow our members to stand squarely between criminals and citizens.”

Arkansas Young Republicans – “Drugs and violent crime are endemic problems that cause heartbreak and despair among our communities. We fully support @SarahHuckabee’s plan to build a safer future for Arkansas!”

Statements from the Sarah for Governor Campaign

September 16, 2022

LITTLE ROCK, Ark.—The Sarah for Governor campaign today released the following statements:
 

Statement from Sarah Huckabee Sanders:
 
“During a check-up earlier this month, my doctor ordered a biopsy on an area of concern in my neck and the test revealed that I had thyroid cancer. Today, I underwent a successful surgery to remove my thyroid and surrounding lymph nodes and by the grace of God I am now cancer-free. I want to thank the Arkansas doctors and nurses for their world-class care, as well as my family and friends for their love, prayers, and support. I look forward to returning to the campaign trail soon. This experience has been a reminder that whatever battle you may be facing, don’t lose heart. As governor, I will never quit fighting for the people of our great state.”
 
Statement from John R. Sims, M.D.:
 
“Sarah is currently recovering from surgery in which we removed her thyroid gland and some of the surrounding lymph nodes in her neck. The surgery went extremely well, and I expect her to be back on her feet even within the next 24 hours. This is a Stage I papillary thyroid carcinoma which is the most common type of thyroid cancer and has an excellent prognosis. While she will need adjuvant treatment with radioactive iodine, as well as continued long term follow up, I think it’s fair to say she’s now cancer free, and I don’t anticipate any of this slowing her down.”

Dr. John Sims is a Head and Neck Oncologic and Microvascular Reconstructive Surgeon at CARTI Cancer Center in Little Rock, Ark.
