George Bush may run for governor of Texas. This is not a repeat from 1994
George Prescott Bush, the eldest son of former Florida governor
Jeb Bush, is gearing up to run for a little-known but powerful office
in a state where his family already is a political dynasty and where his
Hispanic roots could help extend a stranglehold on power Republicans
have enjoyed for two decades.
The 36-year-old Fort Worth attorney says he is close to settling on
campaigning for Texas land commissioner next year. He doesn't expect to
make up his mind until he knows what Texas Gov. Rick Perry, a fellow
Republican, decides to do.
"We for sure are running, the question is the office," Bush told
The Associated Press during the first interview about his political
future since filing paperwork in November to seek elected office in
Texas.
Land commissioner traditionally has been a steppingstone to higher
office, but Bush said little about any plans to eventually become a
national political force.
So he may run for land commissioner
unless Rick Perry retires, then he'll run for Governor? His vague
comment leaves my mind a wanderin'. I've been expecting this for a
whole, although I thought it would be something in Florida.
