Latin America to John McCain. During the 2012 US presidential election, Reich was a spokesman for the Mitt Romney campaign. Reich also served as a foreign policy advisor to Jeb Bush during the latter's 2016 presidential campaign. , Reich runs a Washington, DC-based business consultancy, Otto Reich & Associates. In 2001, Reich was also vice-chairman of Worldwide Responsible Apparel Production. Political positions and reputation A 2002 profile of Reich in The New York Times described him as a "minor celebrity" in Latin America, stating that editorial cartoons in Nicaragua had depicted him "as a Superman-like figure capable of terrorizing corrupt officials and the nation's former Marxist leaders." Cuban media outlets, in contrast, referred to him as a "terrorist" and a "mafioso". His much-debated links to Bosch, his support of the Contras, and his lobbying activities, generated controversy, particularly during his nomination for Assistant Secretary for State. At the time of his nomination, he received considerable support from right-wing Spanish-language radio shows in Miami, and from Cuban-American organizations in general. While he was an advisor to Jeb Bush's presidential campaign, he expressed support for the invasion of Iraq in 2003 led by the US. He has been described as a right-winger, and a person with strong opinions, and called himself an anti-communist.
