I want to know the answer to the following question:
What government position has Howard Dean previously held?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Generally regarded as a pragmatic centrist during his time as governor, Dean emerged during his presidential campaign as a left-wing populist, denouncing the policies of the Bush administration (especially the 2003 invasion of Iraq) as well as fellow Democrats, who, in his view, failed to strongly oppose them.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
