George P. Bush makes state candidacy official

http://www.chron.com/default/article/George-P-Bush-makes-state-candidacy-official-4994997.php

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.

We are never going to get rid of them. I am worried about the fact that he could help get some hispanics since he can speak Spanish fluently and is married to a Spanish speaking lady. Good Lord and Texas no less....we are making strikes and he comes in and screws it up.
