George P. Bush, a son of a governor and a nephew and grandson to U.S. presidents, has filed to run statewide in Texas, the latest member of the powerful political family to seek elected office.
Bush, 37, the son of former Florida Governor Jeb Bush and his Mexican-born wife, Columba, is seen by some as a transformative figure - a Hispanic candidate for a Republican Party that wants to appeal to the growing and increasingly influential electorate of Latino voters.
Bush filed on Tuesday to run for Texas Land Commissioner, a position which, among other duties, manages the Alamo in San Antonio - a symbol of the often contentious relationship between Mexicans and Anglos in Texas. The current land commissioner is running for lieutenant governor.

Please, no more Bushes. Please.
even Texans have had enough of that kind of bush.
Oh, he’s “transformative” all right: pro-abortion, pro-homosexuality, the whole deal—but he speaks Spanish fluently, so he can be the voice of the GOP future.
Reminds me of the movie “Moose Port”
Please, no more Bushes. Please.

Amen!
Stay outda Bushes!
I know what you are saying, but this Bush has not been tested on any positions. Best to give him a chance if he gets elected. Let us not forget that the Latino population will soon be a majority in the country.
We are still looking for the next Reagan. We know who does not fit the bill, we just do not know who does as of now.
No. It's a symbol of American resolve to unwavering resistance towards Mexican aggression.
As such, it represents Freedom for the Americans, as they would not have to end up as subjects of the Mexican despots.
Like the despot in training, whose principal claim to fame is his family name....and his brown skin.
Allegedly America did away with hereditary monarchy.
George P. Bush? Does the P stand for Paco?
The GOP needs to get over its Hispanic Voter Myth nonsense...
If Illegal Alien Amnesty was going to get Hispanic votes...John McCain would have been elected President
And, isnt it odd that a half-Mexican Bush is considered Hispanic, but a half-Cuban Ted Cruz isn’t?

Good gosh....Low Info Voter supporting the Hispanic Voter Myth...(facepalm)
George P. Bush/Chelsea Clinton 2020
Then it won't be the United States, we won't be free (how can you be "free" when a foreign populace simply invades and claims the right to rule you?), and the Americans should simply re-create a new government excluding the "Latinos" - who are simply citizens of Mexico in 95% of the cases.
The Constitution is not a suicide pact, and the 14th amendment did not legitimize invasion.
Your post is a farce.
That’s all the two crime families will continue to do - switch off forever in this non-benign monarchy. Other than the current illegal alien in office, there has been a Bush or Clinton in high office since 1980.
we are not going to elect’em to find out what’s in’em
I never realized that the office of the texas land commissioner was so formidable, emotional, and controversial.
Doesn't that describe Rubio a few years back already? Are the Yahoos really this obtuse to what is going on?
That’s because “Hispanic” for political purposes really means Mexican.
This is a euphemism.
Cubans are not Hispanic for political purposes. In California Salvadorans, Nicaraguans, etc aren’t Hispanic either.
Who are his opponents??
