Mark D. Wallace is an American politician and lawyer who has frequently been in the news for his role as leader of the team coaching Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin for interviews and debates. Wallace currently serves as the Executive Director of United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI),[1] an advocacy group that seeks to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.
A Miami lawyer and veteran of three of Jeb Bush's campaigns for Florida governor[2], Wallace "played a key role working for the Bush legal team in the decisive Florida recount in 2000", according to The Daily Telegraph'.[3] In 2004, Wallace served as George W. Bush's deputy campaign manager.
Mark Wallace held several different positions under the Bush Administration, including jobs at the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Department of Homeland Security. In 2005, Wallace was married to White House Communications Director, Nicolle Devenish.[4], who now uses her married name Nicolle Wallace.
In 2006, Bush's ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton, recruited Wallace as the U.S. representative for U.N. management and reform. Wallace and Bolton made public many internal UN investigations that had traditionally been confidential, citing the need for openness. After Bolton's departure, Wallace was described as a "crusader" who sought an investigation of the UN's Development Program, charging that it had served as "a large source of hard currency" for the North Korean government.[5]
Mark and Nicolle Wallace were both enlisted to work with Republican Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin.[6]. Mark Wallace in particular was active in helping her to prepare for the October 2, 2008 Vice-Presidential debate.[7][8] The New York Times said that Ms. Palin's debate performance against Democrat Joe Biden "exceeded expectations in this highly anticipated face-off, though those expectations were low after she had stumbled in recent television interviews."
