As Texas Land Commissioner, Bush works to safeguard our Texas coastline as well as ensure Texas veterans receive the benefits they’ve earned. He protects private property rights, oversees investments that earn billions of dollars for public education, and manages state lands to produce the oil and gas that is helping make America energy-independent. He also serves as Chairman of the Alamo Complex, the most visited site in the State of Texas and works to preserve historic archives at the General Land Office.  Commissioner Bush believes in and promotes small government and has worked to make the Texas General Land Office operationally efficient, saving Texas taxpayer dollars.

Commissioner Bush has dedicated his life to public service — working as a public-school teacher after graduating from Rice University, serving in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan as an officer in the U.S. Naval Reserve, and now as the 28th Land Commissioner of the Texas General Land Office, the only state agency that makes more money than it spends.
