George Prescott Bush, a political newcomer who is the grandson and nephew of U.S. presidents, filed to run for Texas land commissioner on Tuesday — a move that officially begins the continuation of his family's political dynasty with a young, Hispanic, Spanish-speaking candidate.
The 37-year-old Fort Worth lawyer's entry into politics comes at a moment when the state Republican Party is desperate to woo Hispanic voters.
Bush arrived at the Republican Party of Texas office in Austin midafternoon along with campaign workers and his wife, Amanda Williams.
According to the party's communications director, Spencer Yeldell, Bush is the second Republican to file for the office. East Texas businessman David Watts made his candidacy official on Monday. Former El Paso Mayor John Cook has filed to run in the Democratic primary.
