Photographer Eric Draper with President George W. Bush

King County Republicans present President Bush's White House Photographer, Eric Draper, who is coming to town on August 1, 2013. 

Eric served all eight years of the Bush administration and was assigned to the Bush campaign during the 2000 election while working for the Associated Press. He also has a history in Seattle, having worked as a staff photographer for the Seattle Times and was even married in Bellevue!

He just published a book, Front Row Seat: A Photographic Portrait of the Presidency of George W. Bush. Included in the cost of the event will be your very own copy which you will have the opportunity to have signed by Eric.

Matthew Lundh, Executive Director of the King County Republican Party says, "You really aren't going to want to miss this event. Be prepared for a behind-the-scenes look and stories from the perspective of someone who was in the room during times that others were not. He truly had a front row seat to one of the most challenging presidencies of our time which should provide an unforgettable evening!"

The event is Thursday, August 1 and starts at 7:00pm at the Mercer Island VFW Hall, 1836 72nd Ave SE. Tickets are $65 and include a copy of Front Row Seat (a $50 value). There is a $35 guest option for households who only wish to purchase one book.
