Another Bush Files to Campaign

[nursegirl6572]

DALLAS (AP) — George P. Bush, a nephew of former President George W. Bush and son of one-time Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, has made a campaign filing in Texas that is required of candidates planning to run for state office, an official said Thursday night.

The younger Bush, a Fort Worth resident, filed a campaign treasurer appointment Wednesday, a requirement for someone to become a candidate under campaign finance law, Tim Sorrells, general counsel for the Texas Ethics Commission, told The Associated Press.

Sorrells said the report does not specify what office Bush might seek, if any, and he had no other details on the filing, which wasn't available online. Bush did not immediately reply to an email seeking comment, and no phone listing for him could be found.

The 36-year-old said in September his goal was to run for office and acknowledged that he had his eyes on several statewide offices.

Raised in Florida, Bush decided to settle in Texas, home to his uncle and his grandfather, former President George H.W. Bush. He runs a consulting firm and has been active in Republican Party outreach to college students. He's also the co-founder of Hispanic Republicans of Texas, a group that seeks to elect Hispanic candidates.

Ana Navarro, who was the national Hispanic co-chairwoman for John McCain when he ran for president in 2008, tweeted her enthusiasm Thursday.

"Wrote check for my friend, (at)georgepbush newly formed exploratory committee for office in TX. Young, pragmatic, Hispanic, just what GOP needs," Navarro's tweet read.

Bush and his wife, Amanda, met while attending law school at the University of Texas at Austin. After working as a lawyer, Bush became a partner in a real estate investment firm. He has started his second company, St. Augustine Partners, a business consulting firm aimed at small- and medium-market energy industries.

Bush also has Navy service on his resume, including a six-month deployment to Afghanistan, where, for security purposes, he was given a different name. Not even those he was serving alongside knew he was a Bush.

Hmmmmm.  Very interesting.  He may be one to look at down the road!  Not too tough on the eyes either!  Wonder what he's going to run for!

  “George P. Bush, a nephew of former President George W. Bush and son of one-time Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, has made a campaign filing in Texas that is required of candidates planning to run for state office, an official said Thursday night.”

The Bush name will be an asset. Keep in mind he made a campaign filing in Texas that is required of candidates planning to run for state office.

Key words to consider are Texas, State Office, Republican, and Bush. Also keep in mind he is half Hispanic. His mother is from Mexico.

My prediction is he will win any Texas State Office he runs for. May be not Governor because lack of experience but, who knows?

Jeb Bush is actually a good choice for the republicans. He is more open minded and more aware of the reality that is the American demographics. He's been an voice of the republican party encouraging them to realize that their platform needs some tweaking. It also helps that his wife is a Mexican. IMO he can kick start the conversation of immigration in a way that is not "taboo" to the republicans which may in turn help them win the Hispanic vote. This may be an election that will be good in 2016....

I agree SM.  If anything, it will probably hurt more than help.  Maybe he should have kept the alias he had in the service!  LOL

Another George Bush for president, that would be kind of crazy...just as a neat factoid kind of thing.

I loved both Bush's, so I'm already biased.  We'll see....interesting to watch!!

Well, sometimes one's name can help ya and sometimes it can hurt ya.  He may get a little of both.  We'll see.
