　　"We don't need another president who merely holds the top spot among the pampered⁵ elites⁶ of Washington. We need a president willing to challenge and disrupt the whole culture in our nation's capital. And I will be that President."

　　The established governor cited his achievements in Florida to convince people that he can do it at Federal level.

　　"We made Florida number one in job creation and number one in small business creation: 1.3 million new jobs, 4.4% growth, higher family income, eight balanced budgets, and tax cuts eight years in a row that saved our people and businesses $19 billion."

　　Strong support comes from the candidate's family. 90-year-old mom Barbara Bush was there to show her support.

　　Jeb currently stands second in the 11-men Republican team, just behind Marco Rubio, also from Florida.
