IRVING, TEXAS – Hope native and former Arkansas Governor and Republican presidential nominee Mike Huckabee has joined the Board of Directors at OneShare Health, an ACA-exempt Christian Health Care Sharing Ministry based in Irving, Texas. Huckabee said he was initially drawn to OneShare Health’s faith-driven vision.
Huckabee’s Christian faith plays a significant role in his private and public life. After graduating from Hope High School, he attended Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia, where he majored in religion. Following his graduation, he attended Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, TX. After several years in radio, TV, and advertising he spent 12-years as a pastor of congregations in Arkansas. Huckabee served as president of the Arkansas Baptist Convention, which he said helped spark a pursuit into major politics.
He came in second in the Republican presidential primaries in 2008 and ran again in 2016. He has written 13 books, most of them NY Times Bestsellers, and has hosted television shows on Fox News Channel and currently is the host of “Huckabee” on the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN). He is still a contributor at Fox News.
Huckabee served as the 44th Governor of the State of Arkansas from 1996 to 2007. In addition to educational reform, Huckabee continues to push for making wide-scale changes to American healthcare.
