 == Political career ==
 [[File:JebBush02.jpg‎|thumb|200px|Jeb Bush earlier in his career.]]
-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. 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>[https://www.nbcnews.com/video/nightly-news/51667537#51667537 Barbara Bush: 'We've had enough Bushes' in White House], [[NBC News]]</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/ 'We've Had Enough Bushes': Barbara Bush Urges Jeb Bush Not to Run in 2016 (VIDEO)], [[The Christian Post]]</ref>

 ==2016 Presidential Campaign==
 On December 16, 2014, Bush announced the formation of The Right to Rise PAC, a Super PAC intended to serve as an exploratory committee and fundraising mechanism for a potential candidacy. Bush used the maximum "one day less than six months" exploratory period to raise money without limits while being permitted to coordinate with his Super PAC.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/jeb-bush-exploits-huge-loophole-campaign-money-rule|title=Jeb Bush exploits major loophole in campaign finance rule|work=MSNBC|date=May 2, 2015|accessdate=Feb. 24, 2016}}</ref> On June 15, 2015, Bush announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination in the [[2016 presidential election]].<ref>[https://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/06/15/after-long-wind-up-bush-set-to-enter-2016-white-house-race/?intcmp=latestnews Jeb Bush enters 2016 White House race, ending the long wait], [[Fox News]]</ref>  Bush enjoyed an early fundraising advantage, which may have discouraged other potential candidates including [[Mitt Romney]] from seeking the Republican nomination.
-As the candidate favored by the [[Establishment]], Jeb Bush received endorsements from elected [[Republican]] officials.
