Karl Rove

Karl Rove served as Senior Advisor to President George W. Bush from 2000 to 2007 and Deputy Chief of Staff from 2004 to 2007.  At the White House he oversaw the Offices of Strategic Initiatives, Political Affairs, Public Liaison, and Intergovernmental Affairs and was Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, coordinating the White House policy-making process.  He is now a Fox News contributor, writes a weekly op-ed for The Wall Street Journal, and is a Newsweek columnist.

A native Texan, proud military veteran, successful businessman and rancher, David Dewhurst has served as Lieutenant Governor and President of the Texas Senate since 2003. Through four regular sessions and seven special sessions of the Texas legislature, Dewhurst has championed legislation to create new jobs and expand economic opportunity, improve public and higher education, and ensure public safety.  As a successful businessman with an optimistic, solution-oriented approach to public service, Dewhurst has worked hard to make Texas a national leader in job creation and the best place in America to do business.  A strong fiscal conservative, he helped pass the largest tax cut in state history, balanced four state budgets, and has continued to protect taxpayers by building and maintaining a healthy reserve of more than $9 billion in the state’s Rainy Day Fund.  As a result, Texas’ economy has grown faster than the national economy and more Texans are employed than at any other time in our state’s history.
