Potential Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush arrived in the Bay Area on Wednesday, perhaps hoping the region might be as much of a fulcrum to political success as was Florida, where he was a two-term governor.
It might be short on alligators and humidity, but the region packs much more money per square mile. Bush came to keynote fundraising luncheons for his Right to Rise super PAC on Wednesday in East Palo Alto and Thursday in San Francisco, hosted and attended by some local investment icons.
