Hayes was finance chief for Gore's first presidential campaign in 1988 and again in 2000. He also managed Gore's campaign finances when Gore first won a U.S. House seat in 1976 and for later Senate elections.
Hayes led fundraising for Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen when he won office in 2002 and again when Bredesen won re-election in a 2006 landslide.
After becoming vice president in 1993, Gore also nominated Hayes as a director of the Tennessee Valley Authority, the country's largest public utility. He held that post until 1999.
