Governors Celebrate America 250: Great American History from State of State Speeches, Part 2

Republican Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

You likely have heard she may run for president.

But did you also hear her talk about America's 250th birthday?

"If you hear nothing else I say today, hear this: Jesus is our living hope. For each of us. For our state. For our country. America was founded 250 years ago as one nation under God. We have our differences, but our shared faith, values, and love for the people of Arkansas is stronger and more important than any difference."

That was Governor Sanders' annual address to the Arkansas legislature.

And it turns out, many other governors — some also potentially running for president — also used their state of the state address to talk about America 250.

What was their big message about the country's big birthday?

What did the governors say about their own state's role in the birth of America?
