She began her legal career after earning her Juris Doctor by working for the law firm ‘White & Case’ and the ‘International Finance Corporation.’ From 1999 to 2002, Liz worked as an international local lawyer and consultant at the latter.

State Department

She worked as the deputy assistant secretary of state for ‘Near Eastern Affairs,’ at the ‘United States Department of State’ in 2002. Her position as an official with the ‘United States Agency for International Development,’ stationed in Budapest and Warsaw, was concocted to get her hired at the agency, according to ‘The New York Times.’ Colin Powell, the then-secretary of state, had suggested her, according to ‘State Department’, spokesperson Richard Boucher. In such a capacity, she presided over the ‘Middle East Partnership Initiative.’

Moreover, she resigned from her ‘State Department’, role in 2003 and endorsed the ‘W Stands for Women’ project to encourage more women to vote in her father’s re-election campaign in 2004.

As the coordinator for ‘Broader Middle East and North Africa Initiatives,’ she helped C. David Welch, the assistant secretary of state for ‘Near Eastern Affairs,’ made multiple joint efforts to promote democracy and extend diverse possibilities in the Middle East and Northern Africa.

Iran Syria Policy and Operations Group

She also gave her approval to a draft constitution for Iraq. In March 2006, she was chosen to lead the ‘Iran Syria Policy and Operations Group’, (ISOG) by the ‘Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs.’

Later, the unit teamed up with the ‘International Republican Institute’ for a controversial grant program. The following month, the ‘New York Times’ slammed her work on Iran and Syria, claiming that the unit’s clandestine operations may spark a conflict. By May, the group had come to an end.

Post–State Department career

Liz was named one of three co-chairs of the 2008 ‘Republican presidential campaign by Fred Thompson in June 2007. She was named senior foreign policy advisor to Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign on January 27, 2008. In addition, she spoke out against the law prohibiting homosexual marriages in an interview with ‘MSNBC’ in 2009.

She also suggested that the federal government give homosexual couples extra-legal perks. Liz argued that states, not the federal government, should decide on the matter, even though her answer was unclear and did not explicitly specify whether she backed homosexual weddings or not.

Her stance on homosexuality sparked debate. In an ad made by the ‘American Principles Fund,’ a conservative group targeted Hillary. Many saw her anti-gay marriage position as support for her sister, Mary, who was dating Heather Poe at the time. In 2012, the two married.

Non-profit organization and guest host

She founded the non-profit organization ‘Keep America Safe’ with neoconservative political analyst William Kristol and political activist Deborah Burlingame in October 2009. They were all board of directors members. The goal of the organization was to keep residents informed about national security problems. The foundation was heavily criticized, particularly by conservative attorneys.

She joined ‘Fox News’ in January 2012 as a guest host on ‘Hannity’ and ‘Fox News Sunday.’ The network canceled her contract in July 2013 after she declared her race for the ‘Senate’ in Wyoming as a ‘Republican’. And she was against the then-incumbent ‘Republican,’ Mike Enzi.

Her candidacy was widely panned, largely due to a dramatic shift in her position on same-sex weddings. She and Mary have never agreed on homosexual marriages, as she revealed on ‘Fox News Sunday,’ resulting in a feud between them. The public learned about her family conflict, which had a significant influence on her election campaign.
