LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Two former Republican legislators from Mike Huckabee’s home state are in Iowa this week criticizing Huckabee’s record on immigration and taxes on trips paid for by Ron Paul, Huckabee’s Republican presidential rival.
Paul’s campaign said Thursday it was paying former Sen. Jim Holt and former Rep. Randy Minton about $5,000 each to go to Iowa for a series of radio interviews criticizing Huckabee’s 10 1/2 years as Arkansas governor.
“We just want to make sure Iowans get the full picture of what Gov. Huckabee did when he was in office,” said Paul’s campaign spokesman, Jesse Benton.
To counter the criticism, Huckabee brought in a group of longtime Arkansas supporters to defend his record.
