'''Jerry Emmett Patterson''' (born November 15, 1946) is a [[Texas]] [[business]]man who is the former Commissioner of the General Land in the capital city of [[Austin]]. He is seeking a comeback to that position in the [[Republican Party|Republican]] [[primary]] election to be held on March 6, 2018. He seeks to unseat his one-term predecessor, [[George P. Bush]], son of [[Moderate Republican]] former [[Florida]] [[Governor]] [[Jeb Bush]]. Patterson and two other Bush intra-party opponents, [[Davey Edwards]] and [[Rick Range]], have based much of their campaign efforts on preserving the historical integrity of [[The Alamo]] in [[San Antonio]], which is undergoing renovation that many [[conservative]]s fear will be an exercise in [[political correctness]]. Bush calls the renovation plans "REIMAGINE THE ALAMO." | '''Jerry Emmett Patterson''' (born November 15, 1946) is a [[Texas]] [[business]]man who is the former Commissioner of the General Land in the capital city of [[Austin]].
