"Governor Bush has been at the forefront of education reform,” said Michael W. Grebe, president and Chief Executive Officer of the Bradley Foundation. "“During his administration and since, Florida students have made incredible gains. He has also been a vocal advocate for school choice."
The selection was based on nominations solicited from more than 200 prominent individuals across the country and chosen by a Selection Committee, which included Terry Considine, Pierre S. du Pont, Martin Feldstein, Robert P. George, Michael W. Grebe (Bradley Prizes Committee Chair), Charles Krauthammer, Dianne J. Sehler, Abigail Thernstrom and George F. Will.
