History and business
The Quayle family origin come from the state of Indiana. The current region of the family is in Indiana and Arizona.
Dan Quayle was born in Indianapolis, Indiana, to Martha Corinne (née Pulliam) and James Cline Quayle. He has sometimes been incorrectly referred to as James Danforth Quayle III. In his memoir he points out that his birth name was simply James Danforth Quayle. The name Quayle originates from the Isle of Man, where his great-grandfather was born.
His maternal grandfather, Eugene C. Pulliam, was a wealthy and influential publishing magnate who founded Central Newspapers, Inc., and owned more than a dozen major newspapers, such as The Arizona Republic and The Indianapolis Star. James C. Quayle moved his family to Arizona in 1955 to run a branch of the family's publishing empire.

The Arizona Republic
Pulliam, who bought the two Gazettes as well as the Republic, ran all three newspapers until his death in 1975 at the age of 86. A strong period of growth came under Pulliam, who imprinted the newspaper with his conservative brand of politics and his drive for civic leadership. Pulliam was considered one of the influential business leaders who created the modern Phoenix area as it is known today.
Pulliam's holding company, Central Newspapers, Inc., as led by Pulliam's widow and son, assumed operation of the Republic/Gazette family of papers upon the elder Pulliam's death. The Phoenix Gazette was closed in 1997 and its staff merged with that of the Republic. The Arizona Business Gazette is still published to this day.
In 1998, a weekly section geared towards college students, "The Rep", went into circulation. Specialized content is also available in the local sections produced for many of the different cities and suburbs that make up the Phoenix metropolitan area.
The Indianapolis Star
Central Newspapers, Inc. and its owner, Eugene C. Pulliam, the maternal grandfather of future Vice President Dan Quayle, purchased the Star from Shaffer's estate on April 25, 1944, and adopted initiatives to increase the paper's circulation. In 1944, the Star had trailed the evening Indianapolis News but by 1948 had become Indiana's largest newspaper.
In 1948, Pulliam purchased the News and combined the business, mechanical, advertising, and circulation operations of the two papers, with the News moving into the Star's building in 1950. The editorial and news operations remained separate. Eugene S. Pulliam took over as publisher upon the death of his father in 1975, a role he retained until his own death in 1999.
In September 1995, the newsroom staffs of the Star and the News merged. In 1999, the News ceased publication, leaving the Star as the only major daily paper in Indianapolis. Soon thereafter the trustees of Central Newspapers, Inc., the owner of the Star and other newspapers in Indiana and Arizona, began investigating the sale of the small chain to a larger entity.

Members involved with politics
Dan Quayle
Quayle began his political career in 1976 by unseating incumbent Democratic representative J. Edward Roush. He won a second term against John D. Walda. After serving two terms in the House, Quayle upset three-term incumbent Democratic senator Birch Bayh as part of a Republican landslide. In 1986, he won a second term in a landslide victory against Jill Long.
In 1988, Quayle was chosen by then-vice president George H. W. Bush to serve as his running mate in the 1988 presidential election. Quayle and Bush won the election, defeating Democrats Massachusetts governor Michael Dukakis and Texas senator Lloyd Bentsen, taking office on January 20, 1989. He and Bush ran for reelection but were defeated in the 1992 presidential election by Arkansas governor Bill Clinton and Tennessee senator Al Gore. Quayle considered a presidential bid in 1996 before unsuccessfully seeking the Republican nomination in 2000.
Marilyn Quayle
In 1988, Dan was elected Vice President on George H. W. Bush's ticket. Throughout her husband's political career, Marilyn was "always her husband's closest and most candid advisor." She campaigned independently during the presidential campaign. During the 1988 campaign, she was often portrayed in the press as smart, cold, and tough – the power behind her husband. But as second lady, she played a mostly traditional role as hostess, while being an active and involved mother to their three young children. She also worked for causes such as early diagnosis of breast cancer (her mother died of breast cancer at the age of 56). With her sister Nancy, she also published a novel, Embrace the Serpent, a thriller about the wife of a vice president.[1]
Benjamin Quayle
Before serving in Congress, Quayle worked as an associate lawyer and founded a security company. In the 2010 Republican primary he defeated 10 other candidates before winning the general election. In his first bid for reelection, two years later and after redistricting, he faced a Republican challenge from fellow Representative David Schweikert and narrowly lost the seat in the primary.
