Timeline

1953

John Ellis "Jeb" Bush (born February 11, 1953) is an American politician and businessman who served as the 43rd governor of Florida from 1999 to 2007.

Jeb Bush was born on February 11, 1953, in Midland, Texas.

When he was six years old, the family relocated to the Tanglewood neighborhood of Houston, Texas.

The nickname "Jeb" is composed of his initials J.E.B. (John Ellis Bush).

He grew up with two younger brothers, Neil and Marvin, one younger sister, Dorothy, one older brother, George, who is seven years older, and, for the first eight months of his life, an older sister, Robin.

Jeb Bush initially attended Grady Elementary School in Houston.

1967

Following in the footsteps of his father and older brother George, at the age of 14 years in late 1967, Bush began attending high school at the Andover, Massachusetts boarding school Phillips Academy, Andover.

Bush completed ninth grade in Houston, but was advised to repeat it at Andover, and was nearly expelled due to poor grades.

Bush recreationally used marijuana, hashish, and cigarettes during his high school years, although he made the honor roll by the end of his senior year and served as captain of the tennis team.

At the age of 17, Bush taught English as a second language and assisted in the building of a school in Ibarrilla, a small village outside of León, Guanajuato, Mexico, as part of Andover's student exchange summer program.

While in Mexico, he met his future wife, Columba Garnica Gallo.

1971

Bush, who had largely avoided criticizing or supporting the Vietnam War, registered for the draft after his graduation from high school in 1971.

Though many in his family had attended Yale University, Bush chose to attend the University of Texas at Austin, beginning in September 1971.

1972

In the fourth and final draft lottery drawing, on February 2, 1972, for men born in 1953 and to be inducted during 1973, Bush received a draft number of 26 on a calendar-based scale that went to 365.

But no new draft orders were issued after 1972, because the U.S. changed to an all-volunteer military beginning in 1973.

1973

He played on the Texas Longhorns varsity tennis team in 1973.

Bush graduated Phi Beta Kappa and magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Latin American studies.

He completed his coursework in two and a half years.

1974

In 1974, Bush went to work in an entry-level position in the international division of Texas Commerce Bank, which was founded by the family of James Baker.

1977

In November 1977, he was sent to Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, to open a new operation for the bank, where he served as branch manager and vice president.

1980

In 1980, he moved to Florida and pursued a career in real estate development.

Following the 1980 presidential election, Bush and his family moved to Miami-Dade County, Florida.

He took a job in real estate with Armando Codina, a 32-year-old Cuban immigrant and self-made millionaire.

Codina had made a fortune in a computer business, and then formed a new company, The Codina Group, to pursue opportunities in real estate.

During his time with the company, Bush focused on finding tenants for commercial developments.

Codina eventually made Bush his partner in a new development business, which quickly became one of South Florida's leading real estate development firms.

As a partner, Bush received 40% of the firm's profits.

1986

In 1986, Bush became Florida's Secretary of Commerce.

1988

He served until 1988.

At that time, he joined his father's successful campaign for the Presidency.

1994

In 1994, Bush made his first run for office, losing the election for governor by less than two percentage points to the incumbent Lawton Chiles.

1998

Bush ran again in 1998 and defeated lieutenant governor Buddy MacKay with 55 percent of the vote.

He ended up succeeding MacKay after Chiles died in office 23 days shy of his retirement.

2002

He ran for reelection in 2002, defeating Bill McBride and winning with 56 percent, to become Florida's first two-term Republican governor.

During his eight years as governor, Bush pushed an ambitious Everglades conservation plan, supported caps for medical malpractice litigation, launched a Medicaid privatization pilot program, and instituted reforms to the state education system, including the issuance of vouchers and promoting school choice.

2015

Bush announced his presidential candidacy on June 15, 2015.

2016

A member of the Bush political family, he was an unsuccessful candidate for president of the United States in the 2016 Republican primaries.

Bush, who grew up in Houston, was the second son of former President George H. W. Bush and former First Lady Barbara Bush, and a younger brother of former President George W. Bush.

He graduated from Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, and attended the University of Texas at Austin, where he earned a degree in Latin American affairs.

He suspended his campaign on February 20, 2016, shortly after the South Carolina primary, and endorsed Senator Ted Cruz on March 23, 2016.
