'''John Ellis "Jeb" Bush''' (born February 11, 1953), age {{age|1953|02|11}}, is a businessman and a former governor of the State of [[Florida]].  He is the third child and second son of former President [[George H. W. Bush]] and his wife, former [[First Lady]] [[Barbara Bush]].  He is the younger brother of former President [[George W. Bush]]. Jeb Bush was the first Republican to win a second term as Florida’s governor, and he left office with a 60% approval rating.<ref name="WashTimes">[http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/dec/30/jeb-senate-bid-would-turn-on-rehabilitating-bush-b/ Jeb Bush Senate bid a GOP remedy?] The ''Washington Times'' Dec. 30, 2008</ref>

== Early life and education ==

Bush was born in [[Midland]], [[Texas]] where his father ran an oil drilling company. When he was six years old, the family relocated to [[Houston]], Texas. He was a budding athlete, enjoying [[baseball]] and [[tennis]]. He went to a public elementary school, and later to a private school. When he was in eighth grade, George H. W. Bush won a seat in [[Congress]] and moved to Washington, DC. The Bush children stayed in Houston with another family to finish the school year, and spent most summers and holidays at the family estate, located at Kennebunkport, [[Maine]]. He then enrolled at Phillips Andover Academy in [[Massachusetts]], already attended by his brother, George. Jeb Bush made the honor roll his first year. <ref>[http://www.who2.com/jebbush.html Jeb Bush Biography]</ref>

== Political 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>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>

They have three children: George (known as George P., born 1976), Noelle (born 1977) and John (known as Jebby, born 1983). The couple currently resides in Coral Gables, [[Florida]].
