Jenna Welch Bush (born November 25, 1981 in Dallas, Texas)[1] is an author and school teacher who is the daughter of U.S. President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush as well as the fraternal twin of Barbara Bush. Jenna and Barbara are known as the first First Twins both because they are the children of the US President and because they are the first twin children of a sitting President. She is currently engaged[2] to her boyfriend of three years, Henry Hager, a former aide to Karl Rove and University of Virginia graduate student.

Early life and education

Jenna Bush was named after her maternal grandmother, Jenna Hawkins.

Jenna attended several primary and secondary schools. When she lived in Dallas, Texas, she and her sister attended Preston Hollow Elementary School and then The Hockaday School. When her father became the Governor of Texas in 1994, Jenna attended St. Andrew's Episcopal School in Austin, Texas. Jenna attended Austin High School from 1996 until her graduation in 2000.[3] She attended the University of Texas at Austin where she was a legacy member of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority (her mother, First Lady Laura Bush, is also a Theta). On April 29 2001, Jenna was charged with a Class C misdemeanor of being a minor in possession of alcohol in Austin, Texas. On May 29 2001 Jenna was charged with another misdemeanor — attempting to use a fake ID (with the name Barbara Pierce, her paternal grandmother's maiden name) to purchase alcohol. She pleaded no contest to both misdemeanors.[4] Jenna graduated from UT with a degree in English in 2004.

2004 U.S. Presidential election

Jenna had asked her father not to run for president in 2000. "Oh, I just wish you wouldn't run. It's going to change our life." Her father told her that he and her mother needed to live their lives.[5] However, in the winter of 2003, Jenna decided she wanted to become involved in the 2004 campaign.[6] In response to this decision, Jenna made media appearances during the summer of 2004 prior to the 2004 U.S. Presidential election when she and Barbara made several public appearances, including giving a speech to the Republican Convention on August 31, 2004.[7] Jenna was also found sticking her tongue out to media photographers at a campaign stop in St. Louis.[8] Jenna and Barbara took turns traveling to swing states with their father and also gave a seven-page interview and photo shoot in Vogue.[9] The media also extensively covered the campaigning of John Kerry's daughters Vanessa and Alexandra, making the "battle of the daughters" a human interest element of the campaign.

Career

Teaching career

Before leaving Washington, D.C. in Summer 2006, Bush taught at Elsie Whitlow Stokes Community Freedom Public Charter School for a year and a half.[10] She took a leave of absence from the Charter School teaching position to work at a shelter several days a week as part of an internship for UNICEF's Educational Policy Department in Latin America, specifically in Panama.[11][12] After her internship for UNICEF, she returned to her teaching position at the charter school in Washington, D.C., where she is again currently teaching.[13]

Bibliography

In 2007, Jenna Bush began marketing a book proposal with the assistance of Robert B. Barnett, a Washington attorney.[14] The title of the book is Ana's Story: A Journey of Hope and it chronicles her experiences working with UNICEF sponsored charities in Latin America, including visits to drought stricken Paraguay in 2006, while working as an intern for United Nations Children's Fund.[15][16][17][18] HarperCollins announced in March 2007 it would publish the book and it was released September 28, 2007, with an initial printing of 500,000 copies.[19] Her share of the profits will go to UNICEF; the remainder will go to the woman whose life is the basis of the book, assisting in the young woman's continuing education.[20] During the book tour, to promote the book, Bush appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres Show and called her father and mother, as Degeneres interviewed her.[21][22] Bush is currently writing a second book, in conjunction with her mother, which is designed to encourage children to read.[23]

Personal life

Engagement

On August 15, 2007, Jenna became engaged to her boyfriend of two years, Henry Hager of Richmond, Virginia, whom she met during her father's 2004 presidential campaign.[24] Their relationship became public when the two appeared together at a White House dinner for Prince Charles and Camilla, The Duchess of Cornwall in November 2005. Earlier that year, in February, Laura Bush had commented that Hager was not a "serious boyfriend" of Jenna's.[8] After Hager was granted permission by Mr. Bush to marry Jenna, Hager proposed to her on Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park in Maine.[25] [26][27][28]. In January 2008, People Magazine stated that Jenna Bush and Henry Hager would hold their wedding service on May 10, 2008 at her parents' Prairie Chapel Ranch in Crawford, Texas.[29]

Hager (b. 1977) is currently a graduate student in business administration at the Darden Graduate School of Business Administration at the University of Virginia. A Wake Forest University graduate and a member of Kappa Alpha Order, Hager worked as a U.S. Department of Commerce aide for Carlos Gutierrez and as a White House aide for Karl Rove.[30] He is the son of Virginia Republican Party Chairman John H. Hager, who previously served as lieutenant governor of Virginia and as the U.S. Department of Education Assistant Secretary under George W. Bush.[31]
