2. George Pataki / Allison Pataki
George Pataki served as governor of New York from 1995 – 2006. During his tenure, Pataki pursued a policy of strict fiscal conservatism, proposing and approving more tax cuts than any of his predecessors, and also slashing state budgets by introducing major spending cuts for health and education.
Pataki is certainly in better form than some of the ugly politicians on this list, but that’s setting the bar pretty low. There’s a reason you might see George’s face on Newsweek, but not on GQ. His daughter, Allison, on the other hand is a real beauty.
Allison Pataki (born 1984) studied English at Yale hoping to pursue a career in journalism. After moving to New York City to hone her craft, she realized the fast-paced news cycle was not her tempo, so she dropped out and became a New York Times bestselling author of historical fiction novels.
