George P. Bush raising money for Texas race in Connecticut

[TexasTowelie]

George P. Bush, who this week filed paperwork to run for land commissioner in his home state of Texas, often used as a steppingstone for higher office, has chosen Greenwich for one of his first major fundraisers, Hearst Connecticut Newspapers has learned.

For $1,000 per person, you can get a roundtable audience April 11 with the eldest son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush at the Dairy Road home of Chris and Carina Crain. There’s also a $250 per person general reception option afterward.

If the Crain name sounds familiar, that’s because it is: he is a vice president and group publisher at his family’s Crain Communications, which puts out Crain’s New York Business and a host of other publications.

The P. in George P. Bush stands for Prescott, the first name of Bush family patriarch and the candidate’s great-grandfather, Prescott Bush, the late U.S. senator from Connecticut.
