George P. Bush

It's kind of an unwritten law, I think, being - carrying the name - George Bush. At times I ask myself, 'Am I going to be able to live life the way I want to?' I'm cautious about doing certain things. ”

I myself am Catholic, and many Catholics have values that are a priority for Republicans, especially as they relate to marriage and life. ”

Republicans have to be mindful about reaching out more to Hispanics, not only because they're the fastest growing minority, but also because we share their conservative values on marriage and life. ”

Each day in Texas, heroes risk their lives to protect ours. ”

Texas has a pressing need for a single governmental body to provide overall flood control management for the watersheds affecting major population areas and guide state and local flood control policy. ”

Our state is truly remarkable because we are leading this country with sound conservative principles. As long as we continue fighting for our ideals, we'll move forward. ”

There must be an authority at the state level to coordinate flood mitigation projects in upstream watersheds. Additionally, this state entity could bring together multiple stakeholders to benefit all communities in the region. ”

I'm willing to stand behind this concept, that as conservatives, we can win the Hispanic vote without selling out the values. I don't think we need to compromise. ”

I've been asked whether knowing Spanish and being Hispanic myself is a positive in getting Hispanic voters, and I don't believe it is. I think Hispanics look for a friend; they look for someone who understands, whose willing to relate, to hear their issues and welcome them to the party and to their campaigns. ”

If we're going to be successful and be considered credible in the Hispanic community, we've got to denounce some of the ignorant statements that are made about Hispanics and the contributions we make, whether it's to the military, our nation's economy, or to the history of Texas. ”
