LITTLE ROCK, AR - Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders released the following statement on the passing of former Pulaski County Sheriff and U.S. Representative Tommy Robinson (AR-02):

“Bryan and I are mourning the loss of Congressman Robinson, a true legend in Little Rock and our state. Tommy’s career was colorful, but it was colorful in service of the people of Arkansas. He brought much-needed attention to issues like crime and prison overcrowding, and while his methods were sometimes unconventional, they won him admiration from voters to earn a seat in Congress. He was never afraid of a fight.” 

“We are praying for Tommy’s family, friends, and admirers. All of us have lost one of the giants of Arkansas politics.”
