US President George Bush has chosen Paul Robert Fannin to replace Hans Hertell, who served as ambassador to the Dominican Republic since 2001. The appointment is pending approval by the US Senate. Fannin, who has served as chairman of the Arizona Republican Party, would be a political appointee like his predecessor Hans Hertell. Furthermore, Fannin was Presidential Elector for the US Electoral College for Arizona in 2000. The United States Electoral College is the official name of the group of Presidential Electors who are chosen every four years to cast the electoral vote and thereby elect the President and Vice President of the United States.
A lawyer and lobbyist, at the time of his appointment Fannin is a senior partner in the Phoenix, Arizona law firm of Steptoe & Johnson LLP. Previously he worked in the same capacity at the law firm of Quarles & Brady.
A native of Phoenix, Fannin graduated with a BA degree in economics from Stanford University in 1957, served in the United States Air Force as a commissioned officer for three years and received a Juris Doctor degree from the University of Arizona College of Law in 1963. Fannin was president of the Junior Bar Section of the State Bar of Arizona and has participated as a speaker and moderator in continuing legal education programs relating to government relations for years. He was Chairman of the 1976 Phoenix Open Golf Tournament, Big Chief of the Phoenix Thunderbirds (Special Events Committee of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce), member of the City of Phoenix Environmental Commission, member of the Commission on Salaries of Elected Officials (appointed by the Supreme Court of Arizona), and has served on a variety of other governmental advisory committees.
In addition, he has served as director of the Arizona Chamber of Commerce, director of the Arizona State University Law College Association, member of the Board of the Barrow Neurological Institute Foundation, and chairman and member of the Governor's Film and Television Advisory Board. He serves on a number of political candidates' committees.
His wife, Lisa, is a neuro-anesthesiologist who practices at Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix. There are three Fannin children: Paul Jr., Sheryl, and Joe.
