Bush kept his family at arm’s length in the primary but did not avoid them completely. He got a late $100,000 donation from his uncle, while his dad attended his primary night party in Austin.His family’s legacy — which also includes his grandfather, former President George H.W.

Nashed, the spokesperson for Texans for Lawsuit Reform, said the group expects that Guzman “still has a bright future as a Texas leader.”As for Gohmert, he gave up a safe seat in Congress — one he has held for 17 years — to run for attorney general.
