Former Vice President Mike Pence released a statement endorsing former White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders for Governor of Arkansas.

“@SarahHuckabee is a Christian, a Conservative, and a Proud Arkansan who will fight for the people of Arkansas, stand with Law Enforcement, promote lower taxes, champion school choice, and more! Sarah will be a great Governor and has my full support!” Pence wrote on Twitter.

Pence issued his endorsement after Trump made a surprise appearance at Sanders’ fundraising event over the weekend.

“Great weekend on the campaign trail featuring a surprise appearance at one of my events by President Trump!” Sanders shared on Twitter alongside a photo of the two at the event.

Trump previously endorsed the former White House press secretary’s gubernatorial bid when she first made the announcement in January.

Trump wrote, “Sarah Huckabee Sanders is a warrior who will always fight for the people of Arkansas and do what is right, not what is politically correct. Sarah is strong on Borders, tough on Crime, and fully supports the Second Amendment and our great law enforcement officers. She loves our Military and Veterans – and her home state of Arkansas. Sarah will be a GREAT Governor, and she has my Complete and Total Endorsement!”
