Gov. Jeb Bush is ready to be Commander-in-Chief on Day One. He has the temperament, the experience, and the mind to lead our party and our country.

He has detailed plans to rebuild our military and to destroy ISIS. He has an in-depth knowledge of foreign, domestic and national security policy.

Governor Bush needs no on-the-job training. It is why Lindsey Graham, 12 Medal of Honor recipients, and more than 40 retired admirals and generals so strongly support Governor Bush. It is why I concur.

Our country is at a critical juncture. Governor Bush has executive experience. He has dealt successfully with natural disasters and hurricane relief. Governor Bush is a unifier and problem-solver. Governor Bush personifies the strong leadership, the values, the experience and the temperament to lead our country back to greatness.

John L. Napier, Pawleys Island (former Member of Congress)
