The grandson of the late President George H.W. Bush failed to make the runoff in a crowded GOP race to represent Texas’ 22nd District. Experts say the reasons are more complicated than the decline of the Bush family’s political influence.

 

Incomplete results indicated the nonprofit executive was headed to either a third- or fourth-place finish in a 15-way primary race to represent the suburban Houston district, which had become a national Democratic target even before U.S. Rep. Pete Olson, R-Sugar Land, announced his retirement last July. The top two vote-getters in the race, Fort Bend County Sheriff Troy Nehls and technology consultant Kathaleen Wall, will face off in a May runoff election.
