Bush Makes Appeal To Elko Voters

Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush says he's the only candidate with a western land policy that respects the aspirations of people in the West.

The former Florida governor made his comments at a Tuesday afternoon campaign rally at a museum in rural Elko, Nevada. He got applause from the crowd for recommending the U.S. Department of the Interior move its headquarters from Washington, D.C. to the West because the agency's work is concentrated in the region.

Bush made his appeal a month before Nevada Republicans head to caucuses. He urged them to support him and ignore pundits who say his presidential prospects are bleak.

Bush said other Republican candidates are better talkers than him, but argued he was the contender with a plan and a good heart.
