George Prescott Bush (born April 24, 1976)[1] is an American politician and attorney who served as the commissioner of the Texas General Land Office from 2015 to 2023. A member of the Republican Party, Bush unsuccessfully campaigned for the party's nomination in the 2022 Texas Attorney General election.

A fourth-generation elected official of the Bush family, he is the eldest child of the former governor of Florida, Jeb Bush; nephew of the 43rd president, George W. Bush; grandson of the 41st president, George H. W. Bush; and great-grandson of the former U.S. senator from Connecticut, Prescott Bush.

Early life and education

Bush was born in Houston, Texas, to Jeb and Columba Bush (née Garnica Gallo). Bush has two siblings: younger sister Noelle Lucila Bush and younger brother John Ellis Bush Jr.[2][3] Bush attended Gulliver Preparatory School in the Miami area.[citation needed]

In December 1994, Bush was involved in an incident at his former girlfriend's home after attempting to break in and later driving his car through the front yard. His girlfriend's father declined to press charges.[4] He graduated from Rice University with a Bachelor of Arts in history in 1998. He then attended the University of Texas School of Law from 2000 until 2003, graduating with a Juris Doctor degree.[5][6][3]

Career
Education

From August 1998 until June 1999, Bush taught social studies at a public high school in Homestead, Florida.[5][6][3][7] Bush was the Tarrant County chairman[citation needed][when?] for Uplift Education, a charter school district in Dallas.[8][9]

Legal

Bush clerked for U.S. District Judge for the Northern District of Texas, Sidney A. Fitzwater, from September 2003 until 2004.[10][11] From 2004 to 2007 he practiced corporate and securities law with Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld LLP in Dallas.[12] In 2005, Bush was selected as one of Texas Monthly's "Rising Stars" for his work with Akin Gump.[13]

From 2007 to 2012, Bush was a partner at Pennybacker Capital, LLC, a real estate private equity firm in Austin, Texas. The firm was originally named N3 Capital and headquartered in Fort Worth.[14][15] In 2012, he founded St. Augustine Partners, an energy and technology-focused investment firm in Fort Worth.[16][17] After Bush's defeat in the March 2022 attorney general primary to Ken Paxton, he went to work for a Wisconsin-based law firm called Michael Best & Friedrich LLP, officing out of Austin.[18][19] In 2024 he was named the Managing Partner of the Austin office.[20]

Military service

Bush told Politico that attending the October 2006 launch of the USS George H.W. Bush inspired him to join the United States Navy. He also called the death of Pat Tillman, the National Football League player and Army Ranger who was killed by friendly fire in Afghanistan in 2004, "a wake-up call".[21][22]

In March 2007, the United States Navy Reserve selected Bush for training as an intelligence officer through the direct commission officer program, a Navy initiative whereby applicants in specialized civilian fields forgo the typical prerequisites of a commission, such as the Naval Academy, NROTC or OCS, and—instead—attend the Direct Commissioned Officer Indoctrination Course (DCOIC),[23] a three-week course on subjects such as naval history, customs and courtesies, followed by online classes. He was commissioned as a Navy Reserve Officer in May 2007.[24][25] Bush served in Afghanistan for eight months from June 2010 to February 2011.[24] During the deployment, he was given a different name for security purposes.[26] Bush left the U.S. Navy Reserve in May 2017 as a lieutenant.[24][27]
