FILE - In this Jan. 31, 2016, photo, former Republican presidential candidate and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee speaks at Inspired Grounds Cafe in West Des Moines, Iowa. Huckabee resigned from the board of the Country Music Association Foundation, the charitable arm of the association that runs the annual CMA Awards and CMA Festival, after swift criticism from the music community. Within 24 hours of his election to the board on Feb. 28, 2018, a prominent artist manager sent a letter to the foundation calling Huckabee’s election “grossly offensive” due to his political opinions and associations with the National Rifle Association.
