Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush’s (R) wife, Columba, jumped onto social media Friday, logging into new Instagram and Twitter accounts.
Her Twitter profile describes her as a “Proud Mother, Grandmother, and Wife of @JebBush,” as well as an “Advocate for Domestic Violence and Drug Prevention, the Arts.” Her profile has Twitter’s official symbol for a verified account.
In her first tweet, she discussed meeting members of the Iowa Coalition against Domestic Violence.
Privileged to meet @ICADV leaders while in IA with Jeb this weekend. Join me in supporting Domestic Violence prevention. Call 1-800-933-0333

Her Instagram account doesn’t have any posts yet but contains the same biographical information.
This weekend, Jeb and Columba Bush are visiting Iowa, where the former governor will speak at the Republican Lincoln Dinner on Saturday evening.
