He married Laura Lane Welch and the couple shifted to Midland, where George W. Bush founded a series of small, independent oil exploration companies. He helped his father George H. W. Bush in both of his presidential campaigns before becoming the governor of Texas himself. He was the Republican candidate for 2000 presidential elections and won the election by defeating Democrat nominee Al Gore. Four years later, he was re-elected when he defeated Democrat John Kerry.
