MIAMI — Florida Republican gubernatorial candidate Jeb Bush said Monday he has chosen Florida’s education commissioner as his running mate in an election expected to focus on schools.
Frank Brogan, 44, has also been a teacher, principal and superintendent. He was elected education commissioner four years ago and has championed charter schools and standardized testing for graduation.
Bush, 45, is the son of former President Bush and the brother of Texas Gov. George W. Bush.
The likely Democratic nominee for governor, Lt. Gov. Buddy MacKay, chose former state Sen. Rick Dantzler as his running mate.
