He returned to politics during the 1988 presidential campaign where he aided Bush in his successful run. He continued his service during the administration as Appointments Secretary to the President until he took a job as vice president of corporate affairs at Chiquita Brands International in 1991. Hagin also served as a volunteer firefighter for the Madeira Indian Hill Joint Fire District before moving to Washington D.C. and while working for Chiquita Brands International.
Hagin aided George W. Bush as a deputy campaign manager during the 2000 presidential campaign. He was appointed Deputy Chief of Staff in 2001 and remained in the position until July 2008. Prior to Karl Rove's resignation in 2007, Hagin's day-to-day power rivaled that of Rove.[4]
