Arkansas voters will decide on May 24 the primary winners in gubernatorial and U.S. congressional races.

In the Republican primary for governor, Sarah Sanders, a former White House press secretary and daughter of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, will face former talk radio host Doc Washburn in the Republican primary. She’s been endorsed by former President Donald Trump, former Vice President Mike Pence, and incumbent Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, who cannot seek reelection due to the state’s two-term limit for governors.
