Biography

Dubose has covered American politics since he began writing for the Texas Observer in the early 1980s. In the early 2000s he worked as the politics editor for the Austin Chronicle.[5] In the spring of 2007, he was hired as the editor of the Washington Spectator by the publisher at the time, Kevin Walter, who said that the Spectator chose Dubose for "his skills as an editor, but also his hard-nosed background as a reporter" and for his "unique perspective" on "Texas politicians."[6]

Dubose divides his time between Austin, Texas and Washington, D.C.
