Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders started the national tour for her new book on Wednesday evening. The book is called “Unapologetic: Clarity and Conviction in a World Gone Crazy.” Her first stop was the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum in Yorba Linda, Calif.

The book came out Tuesday. Mrs. Sanders is the first woman to serve as governor of Arkansas. She won a second four-year term on Nov. 3 with nearly 54 percent of the vote.

“We won because we worked together to accomplish good things for the people of our state,” Mrs. Sanders said. “We won because we did not abandon or back down from any of our principles. We won because we implemented strong conservative policy, and the people who we were elected to serve benefited by the work that we had done, and we did not apologize for it, we leaned in.”

She also pointed to other Republican wins in Arkansas. Sen. Tom Cotton was reelected, and all four sitting U.S. House members from Arkansas, who are Republicans, won.

Audience members asked whether she would think about running for president. Mrs. Sanders kept her focus on Arkansas. “I’m honored that I just won reelection,” she said, and the crowd laughed. She added, “I found that if you do a really good job and focus on what’s in front of you, the rest of the plan will figure itself out. And I’m very hopeful that I’ll get to do the job that I have for the next four years and do a great job for the people of Arkansas.”

She gave the speech on Veterans Day. A large part of it was a reading from the book about Chief Petty Officer Adam Brown, a Navy SEAL from Hot Springs. He was killed in Afghanistan in 2010. He received the Arkansas Medal of Freedom, an award Mrs. Sanders created in 2024. “What is God telling us through Adam’s story? That no matter how far we have fallen, we are not beyond His grace,” she said.

In the book, Mrs. Sanders writes about her 2022 race for governor. She also writes about the Arkansas LEARNS Act, her signature school choice policy, which she discussed at the event too. She served two years as White House press secretary during President Trump’s first term. In the book, she calls the first year of his second term “a remarkable success.”

Mrs. Sanders was scheduled to speak Thursday at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum in Simi Valley, Calif. The tour also includes stops in Dallas, Washington, Chicago and West Palm Beach, Fla.
