Meet The Gay Man Running Jeb Bush’s 2016 Presidential Campaign

(newnownext) - Though he hasn’t officially thrown his hat in the ring, former Florida governor Jeb Bush is expected to run for president in 2016.

Not surprising, considering both his dad and his brother had the job.

Less expected is his apparent choice of communications director: Tim Miller, the executive director of America Rising PAC—and an openly gay man.

Miller, 33, signed on as a senior adviser to Bush’s Right to Rise PAC last week, and will likely become communications director if and when Gov. Bush launches his campaign.

Politico describes him as “an aggressive, younger operative who can be expected to inject a pugilistic style into Bush’s high command.” America Rising, a political-action committee  he co-founded, seems to exist exist solely to hound Hillary Clinton

Miller is considered a social-media whiz kid—by GOP standards, anyway—with more than 12,000 followers on Twitter.

He’s not the first homosexual in the GOP’s inner circle, though: Ken Mehlman came out as gay after serving as chairman of the RNC chairman and campaign manager for George W. Bush. Read more.
