Sarah Huckabee Sanders' father: PAC aid unasked

Sarah Huckabee Sanders' father: PAC aid unasked
Huckabee: Give to GOP instead
by Frank E. Lockwood | September 3, 2019 at 6:53 a.m.
WASHINGTON -- There are better uses for money than donating it to the Draft Sarah Huckabee Sanders for Arkansas Political Action Committee, her father, Mike Huckabee, maintained Monday.
The priority, for now, is the 2020 election cycle, not 2022, he told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette via text message.
"Sarah's focus and the one she hopes donors will make a priority is to re-elect President [Donald] Trump and elect Republicans at every level, but especially at the House and Senate level," he said. "Sarah is not a candidate for any office right now. Her singular goal is to help the President and other Republicans in the 2020 cycle. Any contributions made to an unauthorized PAC would be better made to 2020 races."
Sanders, a former White House press secretary, hasn't commented on the new committee.
Huckabee said he can't vouch for the new PAC, which is urging his daughter to run for governor three years from now.
