WASHINGTON, Dec. 10 (UPI) — Despite earlier reluctance to appear as the next in line to the Bush dynasty, Jeb Bush is tapping his families’ network of former aids and advisers in an early voting push.
Politico reported Sally Bradshaw, longtime Bush advisor, is working with Josh Bolten, George W. Bush’s former chief of staff during his time in the White House.
David Bates, an aide and cabinet secretary under George H. W. Bush’s vice presidency and presidency, plans to go to New Hampshire right before the Feb. 9 primary to canvas for Jeb.
Bush’s campaign hopes the dedicated group of White House alumni will get out the vote all over the country, focusing most of their energy on early voting states ahead of the Iowa caucuses on Feb. 1.
The Washington Post reported Bush has dropped in the polls since July, down to between 3 and 5 percent. The super PAC supporting him – Right to Rise – has already burned through about half of its war chest. The group recently spent $50 million in a record-breaking TV ad buy that did little to nudge the candidates’ polling numbers upwards.
