Bush became Secretary of Commerce under Governor [[Bob Martinez]] in 1987 and was the [[Republican]] nominee for governor in 1994, losing to incumbent Lawton Chiles. In 1998 he ran again and won, becoming governor of Florida at the same time his brother George W. was governor of Texas. He was re-elected in 2002, defeating [[Democrat]] William McBride (who had upset former [[Attorney General]] [[Janet Reno]] in the Democratic primary election). Bush could not run for re-election to a third term in 2006, because of term limits; another Republican, [[Charlie Crist]], was elected to succeed him. After eight years, Jeb Bush left office as one of the most popular and prominent governors in state history. There is speculation about him running for President in 2016, when he would be only 62 years old. <ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/02/us/politics/02jeb.html?ex=1325394000&en=935d0b0bf3613771&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss Jeb Bush] ''New York Times'' on Jan. 2, 2007</ref>

While speculation and public support for a 2016 Presidential run still exists, it was significantly dampened when [[Barbara Bush]] stated in an April 2013 interview<ref>http://www.nbcnews.com/video/nightly-news/51667537#51667537</ref> that she felt "We've had enough Bushes" and continuing "He's the most qualified, but I don't think he'll run."<ref>http://www.christianpost.com/news/weve-had-enough-bushes-barbara-bush-urges-jeb-bush-not-to-run-in-2016-video-94733/</ref>
