One of the big endorsements the various Republican presidential candidates will be looking to reel in during the months to come will be that of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee who won the Iowa caucus back in 2008. It’s no surprise, then, that former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty’s camp is going all out to highlight the fact that they added Huckabee’s daughter, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, to their team on Tuesday.
Sanders is an accomplished political activist in her own right, helping out on her father’s presidential team in Iowa and serving as campaign manager for John Boozman’s U.S. Senate bid out in Arkansas in 2010.
“Sarah is a results-oriented person with a great track record in Iowa and around the country,” said Pawlenty. “We are very excited Sarah is joining our team just as we are hitting our stride in Iowa.”
“It’s clear to me that Governor Pawlenty has what it takes to unite the party, unite the country and beat President Obama,” said Sanders.
