In 1964, George Bush was defeated by incumbent Sen. Ralph W. Yarborough in his race for the U.S. Senate. Elected as a Republican to the 90th Congress in 1966, Bush was reelected to the 91st Congress, serving from 1967-1971. He was not a candidate for reelection in 1970 to the House of Representatives, instead running unsuccessfully against Lloyd Bentsen for election to the Senate. Pres. Nixon then appointed Bush as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations (1971-1973).
Ron Wade was a close friend of George Bush. He was a Bush floor leader at the 1988 Republican National Convention and regional director for Bush's races in 1980, 1988 and 1992. Ron Wade was appointed by President George Bush to his 1988 Presidential Inaugural Committee.
