During the early 1970s, Bush worked on U.S. Senate campaigns for Republican candidates in Florida and Alabama. He ... worked for a Houston-based firm that specialized in large-scale agricultural operations. In addition, Bush was involved in a mentoring program for children in inner-city Houston. During this time, he flirted with the idea of running for state representative in Texas but decided against it. In 1973 he was admitted to Harvard Business School in Massachusetts.

In 1964, Bush won the Republican Party's nomination for U.S. senator from Texas. His opponent was incumbent Democratic Senator Ralph Yarborough. Yarborough made several personal attacks against Bush, calling him a "tool of the eastern kingmakers" and a right-wing extremist. Bush lost the general election.

Bush had better luck in the election of 1966, when he became the first Republican ever to represent Houston in Texas. Bush was easily re-elected in 1968; by 1970 he was ready to try for the Senate again, but was defeated by Lloyd Bentsen.

On gay rights, Bush endorsed the Federal Marriage Amendment, a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution that would define marriage as being "between a man and a woman"; it would ban same-sex marriage and possibly even gay civil unions. A week before the 2004 election... Bush expressed his disagreement with the Republican Party platform that opposed civil unions, and said that the decision on civil unions should be left up to the states. [23]
