Who is
Mike Huckabee!
Mike Huckabee is out to show people the American dream is still alive.
The former Arkansas governor recently formed a 2008 presidential exploratory committee
because he feels the country needs a reawakening and a leadership to address an array of
issues, including how to improve the nation's infrastructure, education system,
environmental policy and failing health care system.
From 1996-2007, Huckabee served as the 44th Governor of Arkansas. When he
left office on January 9, 2007, he set out on a nationwide tour to promote his fifth book,
From Hope to Higher Ground: 12 STOPS to Restoring Americas Greatness.
The book reveals his optimistic vision for what America can become with the right kind of
leadership and a clear direction.
Huckabee is recognized as a national leader, having been honored by
several renowned publications and organizations for his numerous accomplishments.
Governing Magazine named him as one of its Public Officials of the Year for
2005, Time Magazine honored him as one of the five best governors in America, and later in
the same year, Huckabee received the American Association of Retired Persons Impact
Award. In 2007, he was presented with the Music for Life Award by the National Association
of Music Merchants (NAMM) for his commitment to music education.
Huckabee is past chairman of the National Governors Association (NGA) and chairman
of the Education Commission of the States. During his tenure as governor, he served in
other leadership positions including president of the Council of State Governments, state
co-chairman of the Delta Regional Authority, and chairman of the Southern Governors
Association, the Southern Regional Education Board, the Southern Growth Policies Board,
the Southern Technology Council, the Southern International Trade Council and the
Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission.
