He then sold his shares of stock and made a good profit. (www.biography.com).
             In 1986 Bush quit drinking and became more religious. He turned to his wife's Methodist faith. Bush also became more serious professionally. Bush then moved with his family to Washington D.C. in the fall of 1987 to help with his father's presidential campaign. He was his father's must trusted confidant. Bush also became known as a talented speaker. He was also the campaign's chief liaison to Christian conservatives. It was in Washington D.C. that Bush began giving thought to running for governor of Texas. (www.teachervison.com) After the election in 1988, he moved back to Texas, where he organized a group of investors, including Bush himself, and purchased the Texas Rangers baseball team. Bush was the teams managing partner, and became well seen at the ranger home games. He earned a name for himself aside from his family's legacy. Bush sold the team in 1998 for fifteen million dollars. (www.biography.com) This helped to pay for his new 1,500-acre ranch near Crawford Texas. (www.teachervision.com) .
             Then in 1994 Bush shocked everyone, including his family, when he was elected governor of Texas. He defeated the popular incumbent Democrat Ann W. Richards by 350,000 votes. Bush achieved a lot of his goals as governor in his first legislative session. He made important steps toward tort reform-or limiting the ability of plaintiffs to bring lawsuits. These greatly pleased the Texas's big business interests. Bush appealed personally to nearly everyone across party lines. This made him the most popular big-state governor in the country by the end of his first year. Even the Democratic congress found him easy to work with. (www.biography.com).
             Bush supported a huge tax reform plan in 1997. The plan would lower property taxes by a staggering $3 billion per year. It was a political risk that neither conservatives nor liberals liked.
