George W. Bush officials endorse Hillary Clinton in open letter

Republicans who served top roles in President George W. Bush's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Department of Transportation (DOT) are endorsing Hillary Clinton for president.

The 13 former officials backed the Democrat in an open letter Wednesday, led by former EPA head Christine Todd Whitman and former Transportation Secretary Mary Peters.

"We believe in effective government, a society of hope and optimism balanced with realism, and a politics of civility and honesty. None of these values are present in Donald Trump's campaign," the ex-officials wrote.

The endorsement comes near the end of a presidential campaign in which dozens upon dozens of long-time Republicans have denounced their party's candidate.
