LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Former White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders’ campaign says she has raised more than $1 million in the first four days of her candidacy for Arkansas governor.

Sanders’ campaign announced the fundraising figure on Thursday.


The news comes just several days after she announced she was running for governor with a nearly eight-minute video that embraced former President Donald Trump even as he faces an impeachment charge in the Senate.

Lt. Gov. Tim Griffin has raised $1.8 million for the race since March, while Attorney General Leslie Rutledge has raised $1 million.

Sanders is the daughter of former Gov. Mike Huckabee.
