After falling hard for Bush, McKinnon helped re-elect the Republican Governor in 1998, becoming one of his closest advisers. Then, in 1999, McKinnon set up a company, Maverick Media, dedicated solely to Bush's presidential campaign. And when he needed someone to answer the phones and handle administrative work, he turned to Lozano, 30, a friend since 1990 who had become close to his family.
