Taken on as Special Advisor for the campaign, many considered her Sarah Palin's "handler" and personal charge. Upon their return to the White House Wallace was promoted to White House Communications Director, where she remained until the 2008 McCain-Palin Presidential Campaign. Her success as a liaison between journalists and the Bush White House paid off when she was invited to be Bush's Communications Director for the 2004 Bush-Cheney Campaign for re-election. Bush's White House team invited her to come to the White House and from 2000 until 2004 she was the Director of Media Affairs. As Communications Director for the Florida State Technology Office in 2000 she was responsible for the Florida recount in the presidential elections that same year. That work brought her into the Bush circle as it led to her becoming Press Secretary to Florida Governor Jeb Bush. After a brief stint as a television reporter, a role she would return to later in life, she worked on Dan Lungren's campaign for California governor in 1998. In 1997 she was involved with the Republican Caucus for the California Assembly after graduating from the University of California at Berkeley and the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University in Illinois. Her long time efforts for the Republican Party began early, perhaps as young as in high school or college. Whether she was working in the White House as a wrangler of journalists or her own home as mom and novelist, Nicolle Wallace was always knee-deep in the workings of the political world.
