Mike Huckabee
Opens New
Campaign
Headquarters In
Little Rock
Wednesday,
February 14,
2007
For Immediate
Release:
Little Rock, AR
-- Mike Huckabee
announced today
the opening of
the Mike
Huckabee
Presidential
Exploratory
Committee
headquarters in
the One Union
West Capitol
Building at 124
W. Capitol St.,
Suite 1200, in
downtown Little
Rock. The office
will serve as
the home base
for the
logistics,
fundraising and
communications
aspects of the
campaign.
“I felt is was
very important
to locate
campaign
headquarters in
the heart of
downtown Little
Rock because
this is my
home,” Huckabee
said. “The
values I’ve
grown up with
here in Arkansas
have guided my
political
career. As we
move around the
country in this
campaign, it’s
nice to come
back to the
headquarters in
Little Rock,
where my heart
is.”
Huckabee, who
calls himself a
"son of the
South," served
as governor of
Arkansas from
1996-2007, and
as lieutenant
governor from
1993-96.
“It’s no secret
the campaign for
president can be
exhausting and
exciting at the
same time,”
Huckabee said.
“This state is
where I am
invigorated and
it's the source
of much of my
energy.”
Campaign Manager
Chip Saltsman,
who previously
worked as senior
political
advisor for
then-U.S. Senate
Majority Leader
Bill Frist’s
volunteer
political action
committee, will
work out of the
office in Little
Rock.
“One of the
first big
decisions Gov.
Huckabee made
after forming an
exploratory
committee is
that he wanted
the office to be
based in Little
Rock --not
Washington,
D.C.,” Saltsman
said. “Right
away I knew this
was a campaign
based on
American values,
not those of the
Washington
Beltway.”
