After running a campaign heavily focused on national politics and her time as former President Donald Trump’s spokeswoman, Sarah Huckabee Sanders says she wants to keep her attention on Arkansas as she takes charge as the state’s 47th governor.
“She clearly has some national aspirations,” University of Arkansas political science professor Janine Parry said. “In order to fulfill those, it’s likely she’ll have to show some capacity for governance.”
Sanders said the first bill on her agenda she wants the Legislature to pass is an education reform measure containing a pay raise for teachers, a focus on improving literacy rates and more school safety measures.Sanders has not proposed a specific pay hike amount though House and Senate committees have recommended $4,000 teacher raises. In his lame duck budget proposal last year, Hutchinson recommendedbe increased by $550 million over the next two years to accommodate teacher raises.
The incoming governor’s agenda also includes public safety measures, with Sanders supporting a new prison and a “truth in sentencing” law. That’s created uncertainty in the Legislature. Democrats, whose ranks have shrunk in the Legislature, said they’re wary but keeping an open mind.
