Sarah Huckabee Sanders served as White House press secretary for President Donald J. Trump from 2017 to 2019.
A trusted confidante of the President, Sanders advised him on everything from press and communications strategy to personnel and policy.
For two and a half years, Sanders was at the President’s side, battling with the media, working with lawmakers and CEOs, and staffing the President on every foreign trip, including dozens of meetings with foreign leaders.
Sanders is only the third woman and the very first mom to ever hold the job of White House press secretary.
Upon her departure from the administration, President Trump described Sanders as “irreplaceable,” a “warrior,” and a “very special person with extraordinary talents, who has done an incredible job.”
An early supporter of President Trump, Sanders joined the Trump campaign as a senior advisor in February 2016 during the Republican Primary and continued in that role through the President’s defeat of Hillary Clinton.
Sanders has been named one of TIME Magazine’s ”40 under 40” and is recognized as one of the best political operatives of her generation.
She has also advised major Fortune 500 companies and non-profits, including serving as campaign manager of the ONE campaign, a global non-profit founded by U2’s Bono to take action to end extreme poverty and preventable disease, particularly in Africa.
Sanders currently resides in Arkansas with her husband, Bryan, and their three children, Scarlett, Huck, and George.
