Steve was a top strategist in the 2004 campaign to re-elect President George W. Bush and served in the Bush administration, during which time he led the successful confirmations of two U.S. Supreme Court Justices.#healthcarepolicy #healthcare #thelincolnproject #health #CareTalk #COVID19 #VaccineSupport the show⚙️CareTalk: Healthcare.
