Emails to Florida Reporters Show a Jeb Bush Eager to Engage

The email that a Los Angeles Times reporter sent to Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida in April 2006 asked how his early years in Midland, Tex., had shaped him. Attached was an article the reporter had written about the immigration policies of Mr. Bush’s brother, President George W. Bush.
Jeb Bush’s lengthy response had little to say about Midland, but he did have a lot to say about immigration:
“My wife came here legally but it hurts her as badly as it hurts me when people give the perception that all immigrants are bad,” Mr. Bush wrote. “That becomes the impression by the press accounts. It is crazy and wrong.”
The tone of the message, and the mention of Columba, his wife, was so unlike what a reporter typically hears from a politician that the reporter, Peter Wallsten (now an editor at The Washington Post), wrote back to make sure that the email was on the record. The reply: “I don’t do off the record, Peter. You know that.”
