Politics | Jeb Bush Jeb Bush Registered to Vote as 'Hispanic' Bush spokeswoman can't really explain why that happened By Jenn Gidman Posted Apr 6, 2015 8:09 AM CDT Copied In this March 19, 2015, file photo, former Florida Gov.

The Times notes Bush's deep ties to the Hispanic community—including his Mexican wife, his fluent Spanish, and a two-year stint living in Venezuela—before pointing out his likely "confusion over heritage." The mystery remains: Per the Times, "a Bush spokeswoman could offer no explanation for the characterization." (Bush's wife, Columba, reportedly lives a low-key but lavish lifestyle.)
