Jeb: 'Proud' to Run on Bush Legacy
Politico reports:
If Jeb Bush were to run for president, he says he would be “proud” to run on his family name and the legacies of his father and brother.
Speaking in Las Vegas Monday night, the former Florida governor - who stressed he’s not running next year, but wouldn’t close the door after that - said he has no intention of distancing himself from the two presidents in his family if he made a future bid for the White House.
“If I ran for office, I would be a proud younger brother of George W. Bush and a proud son of George H.W. Bush,” he said, the Las Vegas Sun reported.
Bush has repeatedly denied any intentions to run for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, but hasn’t ruled out an eventual bid for the job his father and brother held for a total of 12 years.
But he’s kept himself in the public eye by staying involved in education and immigration issues in Florida and nationwide. And analysts see him as a good pick for the 2016 GOP nomination, were President Barack Obama to win reelection in 2012.
