SIMI VALLEY, Calif.—Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson was a young lawyer when the-President Ronald Reagan nominated him to serve as U.S. attorney for the Western District of Arkansas in 1996.
As he wraps up his second term as the governor of that state, the self-described commonsense conservative shared memories of the former president and called for the return of traditional Republican values during a half-hour lecture at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library on Nov. 30.
