In 1994, Ann Richards lost her campaign for reelection as Texas governor to challenger George W. Bush. During the campaign, Richards described Bush, who had never held public office, as unprepared and inexperienced. Bush focused his message on government welfare, juvenile justice reform, and education, which were important issues to an increasingly conservative electorate. After leaving office, Richards stayed active in Texas and national politics as a political consultant and commentator.
