Jeb Bush
A few of the big stars in the modest-sized Massachusetts Republican firmament are throwing their weight behind former Florida governor Jeb Bush’s presidential candidacy.
Former governor William Weld and former acting governor Jane Swift have signed on with Bush, planning to host Bush campaign events and help with get-out-the-vote efforts, according to a Bush campaign official.
Along with Weld and Swift, who account for two of the state’s three living former GOP governors, former lieutenant governor Kerry Healey, now president of Babson College, and Jan Cellucci, widow of the late former governor Paul Cellucci, are formally backing the Bush campaign.…
Bush has already picked up support from the state’s GOP establishment. In July, Beth Myers and Peter Flaherty, longtime aides to Mitt Romney, the former governor and 2012 presidential nominee, announced they were joining the campaign as senior advisers. Ron Kaufman, the state’s national GOP committeeman and a longtime supporter of the Bush family, has also provided support.
Along with the senior Republicans, the campaign said co-chairs of its college campus effort in the state would be Emily Arterbury of Boston University and Aaron Hendricks of Harvard University.

Jeb
Bush
exemplifies
the
kind
of leadership we need to renew America and to
restore our leadership role in the world. With Jeb’s strong values and
successful record as Governor of Florida, I am confident as President
he would get America back on the path toward job creation, rapid
economic growth, and a stronger position in the world.
Former Governor Jane Swift
Jeb
is
commited
to
improving
education and developing America’s workforce
in order to ensure we can compete in the 21st century economy.
Jeb’s positive vision for the future, and a passion for freedom and
liberty are just a few of the reasons that I am supporting him for
President.
Former

Governor
Kerry
Healey
Governor
Bush
has
an
extraordinary
record of success in closing the achievement
gap for Black, Hispanic and low income children in the Florida schools,
and his innovative policies to increase high school graduation, school
choice and access to higher education are unequaled. America's
competitiveness and the restoration of economic opportunity depends on
our next president valuing and prioritizing high-quality education for
all.

First
Lady
Jan
Cellucci
There
are
many
candidates
focused
on what’s wrong with America. Jeb
understands clearly both the disparities and the opportunities. He is
fully ready to lead the country with a hopeful vision, firm conviction
and steadfast ideals.
Republican National Committeeman Ron Kaufman
Governor
Bush
is
a
true
conservative leader with a long-term vision for this
country and the skills implement it. Our country needs a President that
can re-energize our nation and recapture our greatness and Jeb Bush is
that leader.
