DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Jeb Bush appears to be healthy and wealthy, based on a batch of records released by the Republican presidential candidate Thursday. As for wise? Voters have time.

Bush also listed each of the people, called bundlers, who have helped raise campaign dollars in groups of contributors.

The 62-year-old former governor of Florida is “in excellent physical and mental condition and able to serve” as president, Bush’s doctor wrote in an affidavit.

Bush takes cholesterol medication, but his weight and blood pressure have dropped due to dieting and exercise, Dr. Alberto A. Mitrani of Coral Gables, Florida, wrote.

Bush earned $8.4 million in 2014, according to the tax records he released. It was his best year ever, bringing in $1 million more than he earned in 2013, largely the result of his business consulting and public speaking firm. Bush took in $7.1 million from Jeb Bush & Associates.
