Pierce Bush, the grandson of the late President George H.W. Bush, will file for an open congressional seat in Texas on Monday, according to an email written by his father, Neil Bush, that was obtained by The Texas Tribune.

Bush, the CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters Lone Star, will announce his candidacy for Texas’s 22nd District, which is currently held by retiring Republican Rep. Pete Olson, the newspaper reported.

In the email obtained by the Tribune, Neil Bush touts his son's nonprofit sector work and asks friends to donate to the campaign.
The filing deadline to run for the seat is Monday.

Bush will join a crowded field of at least a dozen Republicans who have announced bids for the Houston-area seat. A few Democrats have also launched campaigns for the seat in the once Republican stronghold.

1. If you cannot get a real job

Enter politics

[Polybius]

7. He's a CEO

Not defending him, just saying. I hate the Bush crime family probably more than any other.

[rwsanders]

17. Is being a CEO really a job?

I know some of his views are bizarre, but Ben Stein told Neil Cavuto (saw it here somewhere) that they don't really work.
The shocked look was priceless.

14. May I modify that?

If you cannot get a real job, enter politics as a republican

[TEB]

15. Exactly

[Farmer-Rick]

2. Two awful cheating bushes was enough. There are so many better families out there to find politician

3. Its in the genes. Neil Bush,

Of Silverado Savings and Loan fame?

4. Wasn't George P Bush (son of Jeb) accused of stalking a girlfriend?

Hell, my family is embarrassed over a parking ticket.

[LisaM]

9. I seem to recall that ALL of Jeb's kids were arrested at some point.

It feels as if it was all about a hundred years ago now, but I think the daughter was arrested for shoplifting (and of course his wife tried to sneak in a bunch of clothes into the US without paying customs duties on them).

[spiderpig]

11. You are right!

But that's them and not us.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

18. Jeb's daughter was arrested for worse than shoplifting.

She stole an MD's prescription pad and forged a signature for narcotics. A felony. Did she do any time ? Please. She went into rehab immediately. End of story.

And his wife tried to bring in almost $80,000 worth of goods without claiming.

The question I have for the family is this --- WHAT makes any of you think we EVER want to see another politician named Bush in ANY office again ANYWHERE ??

5. For some reason the folks in Texas seem to love these carpetbaggers. Hopefully

people have had enough of the Bush family. I know the world has. Read my lips: no more Bushes.

12. not i - i refuse to go to any Bush presidential library

Been to JFK's in MA, Bill Clinton's in AK, LBJ in Austin, TX - no Dubya or 41, though i do have some respect for 41.

[walkingman]

13. Haven't been to JFK's but have LBJ and Clinton's - I think HW was decent although he association

Reagan and his support for SS economics are definite negatives. "W" started the slide in Texas and he gave us Perry - not counting his time as POTUS. I think he should have charged with treason.

6. ugh...not another one

why cant that family just go away

[Harker]

8. Seems like there's one behind every bush.

Is that really his name?

[BlueStater]

10. I remember hearing about him occasionally when his uncle was president.

Wow, he has aged quite a bit in a decade, but he's no less goofy-looking today than he was back in 2006.

[NYC Liberal]

16. I'll never forget that interview. He complained about having to wake up early

That one sure took after his uncle in all the worst ways.

19. Another generation of the Bush Crime Family
