Jeb Bush nabs former Mitt Romney, Rick Perry adviser Austin Barbour
Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush has snagged a top GOP operative with ties to the presidential campaigns of Mitt Romney and Rick Perry.
Until recently, Austin Barbour was running a super PAC backing Perry’s presidential campaign. But the former Texas governor bowed out this month, and Barbour joined Team Bush officially Monday as a senior adviser focused on finance and political operations.
Barbour and campaign officials confirmed the hire, which was first reported by Politico.
