Jeb Bush to Run for Governor Again
Republican Jeb Bush, defeated in 1994 in the closest governor’s race in state history, plans to run again next year. “I still have the passion for this,” Bush said. “I’m still enthusiastic about having the opportunity to serve.” Bush, who turned 44 last week, said he probably won’t make a formal announcement before late fall. The son of former President Bush and younger brother of Texas Gov. George W. Bush lost to Democratic Gov. Lawton Chiles in 1994, getting 49% of the vote to Chiles’ 51%.
