George P. Bush's Family Tree

The Latin Connection
George P. has made the most of his connections to the Latino community. His mother Columba is a naturalized American born in Mexico, he is fluent in Spanish and he currently lives in Texas, where he recently helped found a political-action committee to recruit Hispanic Republicans. In this photo, he dances with Mexican songstress Thalia at a Cinco de Mayo celebration at the White House in 2001.
