George Prescott Bush (born April 24, 1976) is an American attorney, U.S. Navy Reserve officer, real estate investor and politician who serves as the Commissioner of the Texas General Land Office.
A fourth-generation elected official as a member of the Bush family, he is the eldest child of former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, a nephew of former President George W. Bush, and a grandson of former President George H. W. Bush. Bush's middle name is taken from his great-grandfather, Senator Prescott Bush.
Bush was born in Houston, Texas. Bush's mother, born Columba Garnica Gallo, is a naturalized citizen of the U.S. originally from Mexico. Bush has two siblings: younger sister Noelle Lucila Bush, and younger brother, John Ellis Bush, Jr.
Bush attended Gulliver Preparatory School in Miami and earned an undergraduate degree from Rice University in 1998 and later applied to law school at Harvard, New York University, Columbia, and Yale, all of which rejected his applications. He eventually matriculated to law school at University of Texas School of Law, where he earned a Juris Doctor degree from in 2003. Like his grandfather and uncle (both at Yale), Bush was a freshman walk-on to the baseball team at Rice University, but left the team by his sophomore year. Bush played quarterback for the Jones College intramural football team. He was also featured in People Magazine's top 100 Bachelors in 2000.
