He served President Bush since 1993, working on both successful campaigns for Governor of Texas. Bartlett worked in the Governor's Office as Deputy to the Policy Director (1994-98) and, during the 1998 re-election campaign, as Issues Director. Before that, he worked for Karl Rove and Company, an Austin-based political consulting firm.
