Former Florida Republican Governor Jeb Bush has announced he will “actively explore” a run for president in 2016. Jeb Bush is the brother of former President George W. Bush and the son of former President George H. W. Bush. In 2000, as governor of Florida, his administration wrongfully purged at least 12,000 eligible voters from the rolls. His brother was ultimately declared the winner of the state, and the presidential race, by the U.S. Supreme Court, with a margin of about 500 votes. Jeb Bush has expressed skepticism about human-caused climate change and once said during a failed bid for governor in 1994 that women on welfare “should be able to get their life together and find a husband.” In a departure from right-wing Republicans, he has supported comprehensive immigration reform.
