From Inside The White House. Wallace served as the communications chief for George W. Bush’s White House and re-election campaign and was credited with “injecting a tremendous amount of realism” into White House deliberations. According to the Washington Post, she served as “a voice for more openness with reporters.” The New York Times story announcing her presidential appointment carried the headline: “New Aide Aims to Defrost the Press Room,” and she was described by former colleagues as “very persuasive in the halls of the West Wing.”

Wallace also served as senior campaign advisor for the McCain-Palin Presidential campaign in 2008. She appeared frequently on network and cable news programs as the campaign’s top spokesman and defender. In the 2012 HBO film, Game Change, she was portrayed by Sarah Paulson.
