David J. Sanders

For David, standing up for our conservative values is a way of life, and it starts at home. He and his wife Rebecca, a teacher, have five children: Abigail, 11, Noah, 9, Isaac, 8, Elijah, 2.5 and Levi, who was born last October.

He is an active member of Little Rock’s First Baptist Church, where he is an ordained deacon. David has spent the last four years working in Christian education as the director of development for the Arkansas Baptist School System, a K-12 Christian college preparatory school in West Little Rock.

After graduating from Ouachita Baptist University in 1997, he put his beliefs in to action when he went to work for the people of Arkansas in the Governor’s Office. Then, he left government and politics. For six years, David worked for Johnson Controls, Inc., one of the country’s leading energy services companies.

During that time he also started another career, which allowed him to become a leading conservative voice in Arkansas.

In 2000, Stephens Media hired David as a columnist. Twice a week, for nearly a decade, his column ran in more than 25 newspapers statewide. Two years later, Arkansas Business named David one of the state’s top leaders under 40-years old.

He also took our conservative values to the airwaves, first as a panelist on AETN’s ARKANSAS WEEK and then as the producer and host of Unconventional Wisdom, his award-winning public affairs program. His leadership was recognized outside the state as well.

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL and NATIONAL REVIEW ONLINE have published David’s conservative commentary. In May 2005, he was honored with the prestigious Robert D. Novak Fellowship.

Along with raising a family with his wife and working in business and education, standing up for “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness” has been David’s fulltime job. He is a member of the Arkansas Right to Life, National Rifle Association and Club for Growth.

David has led on so many important issues. Now he wants to represent you in the Legislature so that he can fight to strengthen our families and against policies that could bankrupt our state. Like you, he wants Arkansas to be the Land of Opportunity.

David needs your vote on November 2nd.
