Throughout our nearly twenty-year history, numerous MavPAC members have gone on to serve at the highest levels of government. Alumni include Governor Ron DeSantis (FL), Senator Ted Cruz (TX), Representatives Elise Stefanik (NY-21), as well as former Congressman Will Hurd (TX-23).

MavPAC’s origins trace back to President George W. Bush’s 2004 campaign, which aimed to engage young business leaders via its Maverick bundling program. In 2009, George P. Bush and Jay Zeidman oversaw a nationwide launch that established chapters in more areas of the country.

That Bush PAC also helped to fund Desantis

quote:

---

DeSantis was “far and away ahead of most when it comes to getting oil and gas major donors”, said Proler, the former national chair of Maverick PAC, a network for young American conservatives. “I think there’s a reason why he’s going to Midland.”

DeSantis was the “only candidate that has a legitimate chance to beat Trump for the nomination”, he added, reflecting a view shared by many across Texas’s oil patch.

Ron DeSantis’ Campaign Is Flailing. Enter the GOP’s Debate Wizard.

“I said to Karl Rove, ‘You know John Kerry has a debate coach, and you need one for President Bush.’ He kind of laughed and I laughed, and I didn’t think anything would happen,” O’Donnell told the Harvard Crimson in 2012. “Then a couple days later, he called and said, ‘Were you serious?’ and I said ‘Sure.’” Rove brought him on to prepare Bush for his 2004 debates.
