The '2006 Arkansas gubernatorial election' was won by Mike Beebe of the Democratic Party. The election occurred on Tuesday, November 7, 2006. Mike Huckabee (R), one of Arkansas's longest serving Governors, was term limited and thus ineligible for re-election; he is a candidate for the Republican nomination for President in 2008.
