George P. Bush launched his next political move on Wednesday: a run for Texas attorney general in 2022.
Bush, who has served as Texas' land commissioner since 2015, is the son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, the nephew of former President George W. Bush and the grandson of former President George H.W. Bush.
He is the last of the Bush family still in public office — and was the first to break with them to support former President Donald Trump, who has mocked the family that was once the face of the Republican Party.
Bush is now launching the first major challenge against embattled Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who has spent six years in office under felony indictment over accusations of defrauding investors, and more recently was accused of bribery by his own former top aides.
