| Jeb Bush quits board posts ahead of possible White House run - reports | |
| (4 months later) | |
| Potential Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush has resigned from all of his corporate and non-profit board member positions, the Washington Post reported, as the former Florida governor explores a run for the White House. | |
| The Post, citing a statement emailed to the paper by one of Bush’s aides late on New Year’s Eve, said he even stepped down from the board of his education foundation. | |
| The statement added that he was still evaluating next steps for businesses for which he serves as an owner or principal partner, including consulting firm Jeb Bush & Associates, the Post reported. | |
| Reuters could not independently verify the report. Representatives for Bush were not immediately available. | |
| The news comes just days after Bush, the son of former US president George HW Bush and the brother of former president George W Bush, announced he was stepping down from the board of real estate investment trust Rayonier. | |
| Bush said there were no disagreements between Rayonier and him. | |
| Bush, 61, said on 16 December that he was actively exploring a run for the US presidency in 2016 and would establish a political action committee in January that would allow him to engage with supporters and potential donors and determine whether sufficient support exists for a run. | |
| Bush served as Florida’s governor between 1999 and 2007. |
