Sanders’ amended financial disclosure report shows additional $20,500 in 2023 travel-related expenses – By Michael R. Wickline (Arkansas Democrat Gazette)/ Feb 2, 2024
In an amendment to her annual financial disclosure report, Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders reported Friday about $20,500 more in travel-related expenses paid by non-governmental sources in 2023.
The Republican governor amended her statement of financial interest for 2023 to include the nonprofit Arkansas Economic Development Foundation’s payment of $17,388.18 in travel and lodging expenses in June for the governor and first gentleman Bryan Sanders. The foundation supports the Arkansas Economic Development Commission.
The foundation’s payment of these expenses wasn’t on the report the governor filed Wednesday with the secretary of state’s office. After a query from the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette about the omission, Sanders’ spokeswoman Alexa Henning said Thursday night the governor’s office would file “an amended report with [Arkansas Economic Development Foundation] information included on Friday.”
