Jeb Bush tells CNN's Dana Bash that he expects to make "Slow, steady progress" in pulling out front of the crowded GOP field after he makes his candidacy official on Monday.

"I think this transition to a candidacy will allow me to be more direct about my advocacy of the leadership skills," Bush said.

He added he's "Kind of introverted" And it's taken him awhile to be able to show voters his heart.

"I have a life experience that's full, full of warts and full of successes. It's something I think has been lacking in the presidency is that someone who has been tempered by life, and along the way I'll get to share that," Bush said. Ref. CNN

Jeb Bush officially launched his bid to be the GOP nominee for president in 2016, promising to take Washington "Out of the business of causing problems."

"I will take nothing and no one for granted. I will run with heart. I will run to win," Bush said in prepared remarks released before his announcement at Miami Dade College in Florida.

"We will take Washington -- the static capital of this dynamic country -- out of the business of causing problems. ... We will get back on the side of free enterprise and free people." Ref. CNN
