MARCH 16, 2015 THE BUSH IDENTITY WHERE JEB FITS IN THE FAMILY BUSINESS BY ALEX ALTMAN & ZEKE J. MILLER time.com ELECTRICITY IS POWERING PROGRESS. More than half of Ghana’s 25 million people live in rural areas, most without access to electricity. It’s a problem that affects families on a daily basis and limits their access to quality health care, education and jobs. The Government of Ghana devised a plan to bring electricity to over 500 remote towns. Citi’s long-standing pan-African presence allowed us to work with government leaders to provide long-term fi nancing for this project. The result is better hospitals, schools and opportunities for the Ghanaian people. For over 200 years, Citi’s job has been to believe in people and help make their ideas a reality. citi.com/progress © 2015 Citibank, N.A.

Printed in the U.S. time March 16, 2015 1 Editor’s Desk The Family Business back in january, as voters were coming to grips with the reality that Campaign 2016 was upon them, pollster Peter Hart conducted a focus group with a bipartisan array of vot- ers in Colorado. No set of 12 people can count as a representative sample of the voting public—but focus groups do help campaigns map the truths and traps of the national mood. So even as the money rolls in and the armies muster on both sides, it poses a challenge to both Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton that one voter suggested there be an act of Congress forbidding anyone named Bush or Clinton to run again—and that half the room agreed. As someone with a long-standing interest in these two political dynasties—particularly their relationships with each other—I admit to feeling challenged as well.
