PRESS RELEASE

LITTLE ROCK, Ark.—Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders released the following statement on the passing of Arkansas Supreme Court Justice Robin F. Wynne:

“Bryan and I are saddened to learn that Justice Robin Wynne has passed away. His service to our state was immeasurable, from his days as a hard-charging Dallas County prosecutor to his decade at the highest reaches of the Arkansas legal system in the Supreme Court.

Not long ago, Justice Wynne welcomed me into his office to discuss the state we both loved so much. I will treasure the note he sent me afterward, with its deft use of scripture reflecting the years Justice Wynne spent in divinity school earlier in his life. Justice Wynne could have been anything – a pastor, a politician, a businessman – and chose instead to devote his life to Arkansans and the law. For that, we are all eternally grateful. Our deepest condolences are with his family and all those who knew him.”
