Governor Mike Huckabee visits the Lincoln Club of Sacramento
by California Coordinators
I was impressed immediately by Governor Huckabee's down to earth and personable nature, shaking each person's hand and exchanging pleasantries, I noticed he asked people to repeat their name if he did not hear or understand them which I found to be a very honest attempt to get to know us all. We all had the opportunity to engage the Governor on topics that are important to us. I personally was excited to connect with him on moral issues and values and how to promote them to today's teenagers.
I was pleased to see that Governor Huckabee did not just give talking point answers and discussed important social issues like abortion and how they actually become economic issues. We even engaged in the National Republican Senate Committee's NRSC) meddling in state primaries trying to essentially endorse candidates before the primary has even happened. In addition, I was very pleased with his discussion of the recent Mark Sanford scandal as well as his knowledge of California's economic woes.
Upon the conclusion of our private meeting with the Governor, we attended the Lincoln Club event and witnessed a brilliant speech by Governor Huckabee. The Lincoln Club even brought out the Mayor of Sacramento, Kevin Johnson (Democrat). The organizer of the event was very pleased with the turnout and it was clear that the Governor was to thank.
This was an incredibly motivating experience and I look forward to continued work on behalf of Huck PAC promoting strong, Conservative candidates for public office.
