 * In November 2000, Shannon Flaherty was a Junior at George Washington University and a "staff member for Rep. Jennifer Dunn" (R-Washington). Flaherty was then "anxious about Dunn moving up in political ranks because she was instrumental in Bush’s campaign. ... Because she is so revered by Bush she could move into a cabinet position, Flaherty said. It’s one of those things where you wish her well, but then if she moves up, will I move up with her?"
 * Flaherty left Dunn's office early in 2003 to work in the House Republican Conference Press Office.
 * Flaherty and DeLay's former Communications Director Dan Allen have frequently been cited as contacts for DeLay.
