In commenting on the announcement, Sanders said, “FOX News has
been the number one news organization in the country for 17 years
running and I am beyond proud to join their incredible stable of
on-air contributors in providing political insights and

From July 2017 through June 2019, Sanders served as the White
House Press Secretary for President Donald Trump. As the third

as Deputy Press Secretary in January 2017 after previously working
as a senior advisor for the president’s election campaign.
The daughter of former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee (R),
Sanders has previously worked in leadership roles for U.S.
Senators, Governors, and presidential campaigns. In Arkansas, Sarah
was a senior advisor to Senator Tom Cotton (R) in 2014 when he
defeated incumbent Democratic Senator Mark Pryor, and was campaign
manager for Senator John Boozman (R) in 2010 when he defeated
incumbent Democratic Senator Blanche Lincoln. In 2007 and 2008,
Sanders helped lead Gov. Huckabee to victory in the Iowa Caucuses
and seven other states as his National Political Director.
Outside of politics, Sanders has advised major Fortune 500
companies and nonprofits, including serving as manager of the ONE
Campaign, a global nonprofit founded by U2’s Bono to take action to
end extreme poverty and preventable disease.
An accomplished political consultant, Sanders was named one of
