Texas official George P. Bush considers run for attorney general
Texarkana Gazette ^ | 10/27/2020 | Staff

Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush is weighing a bid for attorney general, as the Republican currently in the job, Ken Paxton, faces new criminal accusations.

Several campaign donors have asked Bush to consider running in 2022, senior political adviser Ash Wright said. The Republican has not made a decision.

"Commissioner Bush has always said he will 'keep all options open' and that remains his policy," Wright said in a statement. "Like many conservative leaders around the state, he is very concerned about these allegations regarding Paxton."

Bush's intentions were first reported on the conservative website Texas Scorecard.

If he does jump in, Bush will face a fight. Paxton is "absolutely planning on running again, is looking forward to winning a third term, and is never going to stop fighting for the people of Texas," his campaign spokesman, Ian Prior, said Monday.

Bush, the grandson of former President George H.W. Bush and son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, is the only member of the dynasty currently in elected office.

He won his first term as land commissioner in 2014 and was reelected in 2018, after beating back a challenge from a fellow Republican. Bush was one of the highest performing Republican statewide candidates that year, earning more votes than Paxton and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick.

As a statewide official, Bush has been outspoken in condemning hateful or racist rhetoric within the GOP.

His tenure at the General Land Office has been rocky, most notably facing criticism over his handling of the Alamo historic site. At the 2018 Texas Republican Convention, the delegates booed Bush and cried out "Remember the Alamo!" as he took the stage.

Here is George P’s Twitter feed.

Where is his support asking people to vote for President Trump before the election?

I do see posts with George P sucking up to John Cornyn.

George P is a fraud.

You summed it up nicely. Way too much faith around here in elections and lawsuits. A lot of freepers believe in fairy tales.

George P’s numbers work, only if Cornyn, Abbott and Bush World are successfully in taking out Paxton BEFORE the primary.

Not sure how he managed so many votes...I don’t know anyone that wants a continuation of the Bush dynasty.

Bush is a very good name to have in Texas politics. Has been for awhile.

Yet another worthless Bush?

This looks like a job for Peter Cushing:

If Bush was the highest performing Republican candidate statewide last year we have found the problem. It’s the electorate.
