Bush is one of two Republican primary candidates.
Being part of a political dynasty is a double-edged sword. Many will be skeptical of a fourth-generation politician whose name and fortune would be enough to carry him to victory.
Fortunately, Bush has talents and experience to recommend him to the position, which serves schools and veterans and manages billions of dollars of state assets, investments and mineral rights.

No more Bush’s.
There is not a chance in hell that I will vote for Bush.

Texans, support David Watts for Land Commissioner
