Buchanan’s professional career began in 1962 when, at age 23, he became the youngest editorial writer for The St. Louis Globe Democrat. In 1966, he began his political career, when he signed on to be the first full-time staff member for Richard Nixon in what turned out to be Nixon’s comeback. Buchanan worked with Nixon during the 1966 and 1968 campaigns, as well as serving as special assistant to the president through the final days of Watergate. Buchanan has been a senior advisor to three American presidents — first Nixon, and then, in 1974, as special assistant to President Gerald Ford; and from 1985-87, he was White House Communications Director for President Ronald Reagan.

He has also published five books, including two bestsellers, “Right from the Beginning” and “A Republic, Not an Empire.” In 1993, Buchanan founded The American Cause, an educational foundation based on the principles of freedom, federalism, limited government, traditional values, and a foreign policy that puts America first.
