nation and recapture our greatness - Jeb Bush is that man. I look
forward to working closely with the Governor and his team as they chart
a course to the White House.” - Former

leadership ability, executive government experience, character and
integrity, a positive vision for the future, and a passion for freedom
and liberty are just a few of the reasons that
I am supporting Gov. Bush for President of the United States. This
great country deserves no less,.” -
Kay Coles James, Former Virginia

candidate for President.” - Frm. Lt.

response from DNC
Please see the following in response to Jeb Bush's endorsement from Eric Cantor:
"Eric Cantor was defeated by GOP primary voters for being too cozy with Wall Street and the GOP establishment, and Jeb Bush is being relegated to middle-of-the-pack status by GOP presidential primary voters for exactly the same reasons. Jeb Bush seems to go out of his way to show he’s out of touch.” – Christina Freundlich, DNC spokeswoman
