*George W. Bush’s Nephew Finally Announces for Land Commissioner
**Family legacy of No Child Left Behind, School Vouchers to Shadow Latest
Bush*

(TEXAS) – Today, President George W. Bush’s nephew, George P. Bush,
announced that, after much deliberation among his family about which
statewide office he would deem worthy of his candidacy, he would take his
unique Bush-related talents to the office of State Land Commissioner. Among
its many duties, the Land Commissioner’s office oversees investments made
to the Permanent School Fund.

Former Governor Jeb Bush’s son has been toying with running for office for
months, visiting donors in other states – including Georgia and California
– to ask what millionaires from outside of Texas think he should run for in
Texas. To date, he has raised millions from his family’s network of donors
to run for office just because his last name is Bush.

Following in the footsteps of his uncle’s No Child Left Behind agenda
(President George W. Bush) and his father’s school voucher schemes (former
Florida Governor Jeb Bush), the grandson of former President George H. W.
Bush told the Associated Press that he would run for Land Commissioner.

The following is a statement from Progress Texas Executive Director Matt
Glazer:

*“Serving in elected office is a privilege, not a birthright. George Bush
must go through the same public screening as any other candidate.*

*“Polls show that Texans strongly reject the standardized testing and
privatization policies his family has promoted. Unless George Bush can
prove he’s not just another Bush, his candidacy is likely to be met with
strong opposition across the state.”*

*Progress Texas* communicates progressive values in Texas. We are a
multi-issue organization focused on holding elected officials accountable
and empowering Texans to improve their community. Our mission is to provide
a strong, credible and enduring progressive voice that will ensure more
inclusive, just and sustainable policies for Texas. We work with diverse
coalitions and partners to implement media techniques that enrich and
inform Texans about what is happening throughout the Lone Star State. Ask
us questions at [email-masked].
