Barbara Pierce Bush, daughter of former President George W. Bush and granddaughter of former President George H.W. Bush, recently spent time in Pennsylvania campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris, just days before the 2024 presidential election.
The 42-year-old expressed her excitement about supporting the Harris-Walz campaign with People Magazine: “It was inspiring to join friends and meet voters with the Harris-Walz campaign in Pennsylvania this weekend. I’m hopeful they'll move our country forward and protect women’s rights.”
She co-founded Global Health Corps in 2009, a nonprofit organization focused on cultivating leaders who can tackle major health challenges worldwide. Holding a master’s degree in public administration from Harvard University, Barbara has continued to champion social causes that transcend partisan politics.
