MIAMI (AP) – Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush has written an e-book recalling his days as Florida governor, including the year 2004 when the state was struck by four hurricanes within a six-week span.
Bush won widespread praise, even among critics, for his deft handling of the storms.
The e-book, “Reply All,” is to be fully released Oct. 30, but Bush’s campaign made available a 43-page chapter entitled “We Will Prevail” to The Associated Press on Tuesday. The chapter deals with hurricanes Charlie, Frances, Ivan and Jeanne, which caused $42 billion in damages.
Bush writes about the hurricanes by including email exchanges he had with everyday Floridians, the media and his staff.
On Wednesday, Bush visits Pensacola, where he will talk about his experience during the 2004 storms at a town hall meeting.
