Eric also wrote several speeches for former Florida Governor Jeb Bush during his 2016 presidential campaign, including a fall campaign re-branding speech.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">While focused largely on Republican politics in Texas, where he consulted for two previous House Speakers, several statewide elected officials, and numerous state lawmakers, Eric has expanded his speechwriting brand on a national level, to both federal and state officials across the country. He has penned several political speeches for Senator John Cornyn, contributed to Sen. Ted Cruz\u2019s 2018 Gridiron speech, and has written major speeches for U.S. Senator Martha McSally, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette, and President of the Kansas Senate Susan Wagle.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">A native of Minnesota, Eric Bearse got his start in politics as an intern on Capitol Hill for Congressman Rod Grams (R-MN). Eric was a legislative correspondent for Grams once he was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1995. He subsequently worked on two congressional campaigns in Texas, where he received a B.A. in Political Science from Texas A&amp;M University. He moved to Austin in 1997, where he has lived for the last 22 years, working on statewide campaigns, including Rick Perry\u2019s 1998 campaign for lieutenant governor, and 2002 and 2006 campaigns for governor. Eric formed his own consulting practice in 2007, providing strategic advice to various Republican candidates, and writing copy for hundreds of mail, radio, and television ads in the years since. He also has consulted on numerous public relations efforts aimed at influencing state policy. A father of two teen children, Eric frequently drives caravan to Boy Scout meetings, swim practice, dance and voice lessons. In his free time, he is an avid reader and runner.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tab][\/vc_tabs][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;1&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; back_color=&#8221;color-xsdn&#8221; overlay_alpha=&#8221;90&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;100&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; style=&#8221;inherited&#8221; row_name=&#8221;SERVICES&#8221;][vc_column column_width_use_pixel=&#8221;yes&#8221; position_vertical=&#8221;middle&#8221; align_horizontal=&#8221;align_center&#8221; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; font_family=&#8221;font-660204&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;4&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; zoom_width=&#8221;0&#8243; zoom_height=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_use_pixel=&#8221;yes&#8221; position_vertical=&#8221;middle&#8221; align_horizontal=&#8221;align_center&#8221; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; font_family=&#8221;font-660204&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; css_animation=&#8221;alpha-anim&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; column_width_pixel=&#8221;950&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text_size=&#8221;h4&#8243; text_height=&#8221;fontheight-357766&#8243; text_space=&#8221;fontspace-135905&#8243; text_font=&#8221;font-660204&#8243; text_weight=&#8221;600&#8243; text_transform=&#8221;capitalize&#8221; text_color=&#8221;color-xsdn&#8221;]<span class=\"csheader\">SERVICES<\/span>[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #728276;\">PUBLIC RELATIONS<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #728276;\">We help clients navigate the intricate maze of politics, policy and personalities.
