George P. Bush eyeing Texas Land Commissioner, father says
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush has written a fundraising letter saying his son George P. Bush "is considering" running for Texas Land Commissioner.
But Trey Newton, a political strategist for the younger Bush, said late Wednesday that "no firm decision has been made."
The grandson of one former president and nephew of another, Bush filed a candidacy declaration with the Texas Ethics Commission last week.

All posts are held by Republicans likely to seek higher offices, clearing the way for a Bush candidacy.
Jeb Bush's letter told supporters "I hope you will write a personal check" to his son's campaign.
