Arkansas Governor Sanders Advocates Investment, Youth Mental Health at Davos

Arkansas Governor Sarah Sanders is set to attend the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, from January 22 to 24, 2025. During the event, she will participate in two panels, one addressing the youth mental health crisis in relation to smartphones and social media, alongside author Jonathan Haidt, and another with Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear on the role of states during presidential transitions. Sanders aims to engage with business leaders to attract investments to Arkansas and has voiced concerns regarding Big Tech's impact on youth well-being. In her recent State of the State Address, she emphasized initiatives to restrict smartphone use in schools. This trip continues her efforts to secure major investments for Arkansas, reflecting her proactive economic strategy. Former President Donald Trump, who is not attending, will make a virtual appearance at the forum.
