Jeb Bush

While Jacksonville’s own Susie Wiles is Florida co-chair of the Trump campaign, and the grassroots have fallen in behind Marco Rubio, the establishment is still with Jeb Bush.

Tuesday’s announcement of the Duval County Jeb Bush leadership team includes familiar names: Mike HightowerTom PetwayPeter RummellEd Burr, and John Rood, to name three bigtime backers of Mayor Lenny Curry.

The local GOP power couple, Peret Pass and John Scott, also feature.

Husein Cumber, a big fundraiser for W’s 2004 re-election campaign and current member of the JEA Board, is on board also.

As is Deno Hicks of Southern Strategy Group.
