Bush from 1989 to early 1992, authoring more than 100 of his presidential addresses. She also has ghostwritten several books related to President Bush’s life and career and served as senior writer for communications for the 1988 Bush-Quayle presidential campaign. In 2019, when she began her teaching career at the University of Virginia, Cary became a leading voice in the free speech and viewpoint diversity movement in higher education across the United States.

In addition to being a guest lecturer at dozens of universities nationwide, Ms. Cary has spoken at corporate conferences and presidential libraries, and led conversations on political panels, during leadership training sessions, and at college alumni gatherings.

Cary currently chairs the advisory board of the George and Barbara Bush Foundation, where she has been a member since 2004. The Bush Foundation oversees the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum and the Bush School of Government & Public Service, with campuses at Texas A&M University and in Washington, D.C..

She wrote a biweekly column on politics from 2009 to 2017, serving as a contributing editor at U.S. News & World Report. Her columns often appeared on Real Clear Politics. She was also a regular political analyst on National Public Radio, as well as a regular contributor on CTV, the largest cable news network in Canada, analyzing American politics with a liberal colleague.
