The son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is campaigning to persuade Hispanic voters to support him and the Republican Party.
According to The Wall Street Journal, George P. Bush, who is also the nephew of former President George W. Bush and son of a Mexican mother, is running for Texas land commissioner in next month's primary.
He says he feels a "moral imperative" to reach out to the Hispanic community, which he believes shares many values with Republicans, including a business mindset and a conservative approach to social issues.
"We can't complain as a community unless we register to vote," the 37-year-old Bush said during a speech in which he mixed Spanish and English, according to the Journal.
Republicans and Democrats want to appeal to the Hispanic vote, which makes up nearly 40 percent of the Texas population and is projected to make up a majority of the state by 2050, according to the Journal.
At the same time, Latinos are less likely to vote than whites, and Democrats have a 46 percent to 27 percent advantage on "party preference" among Texas Hispanics, according to a recent poll, the Journal said.

Is George P. Bush padding his resume?
Yeah, that’s the stuff...don’t worry about the democrats, just be sure to attack the Bushes. Yep.
I didn't vote for your boy Bush in the early voting. Just like I didn't vote for Cornyn.

This guy is not qualified for office.
And what would you have done if he had broken into YOUR daughter’s bedroom window? Drop the charges because he’s a Bush?
Stay out da Bushies. Put your big girl pants on.
“We can’t complain as a community unless we register to vote”
spoken like a true leftist, community organizer.
Just what the country needs: more Bushes and recycled Clintons. /s
Next up will be a couple of Carters and the Mooch.
Maybe Carolyn Kennedy, that well known expert on all things Japanese will run. /s
“Courting Hispanics?”. What about Americans?
The only difference between the democRats, and a Bush, is that the Bush will approach as your friend. They're both liberal snakes in the grass.
No more Bushes. Ever.
Ya think jr. Bush cares about them or his own families power and wealth?
Lemme ask ya Mr. buzzard, how is jr. Bush going to "entice" them as you say? Prizes? Awards? Big paying jobs? Free education? Cheap medical care? And why is one group being singled out by jr. Bush to comfort,stroke and make promises to?
What is this enticement you speak of? What is jr. Bush promising them?
Never vote for a Bush. Vote for anyone over a Bush
There is no better representative for Mexico than Jorge P.
Shame on him for courting the illegal vote.
The Bush bunch would not recognize a “moral imperative” if it bit them in the butt.
