There are lots of one-sentence or short paragraphs. This is probably a result of subsequent information added by a variety of editors. This information should probably be formatted more effectively. There doesn't seem to be much post-2021 information, even though she attended events and campaigns during this time. There are also some uncited statements, including entire paragraphs.

Laura Bush

Laura Bush (born November 4, 1946) is an American educator who was the first lady of the United States from 2001 to 2009 as the wife of George W. Bush, the 43rd president of the United States. Bush was previously the first lady of Texas from 1995 to 2000 when her husband was governor. Polled by Gallup as one of the most popular first ladies, Bush was involved in national and global concerns during her tenure. She continued to advance her trademark interests of education and literacy by establishing the annual National Book Festival in 2001. She encouraged education on a worldwide scale. She also advanced women's causes through The Heart Truth and Susan G. Komen for the Cure organizations. She represented the United States during her foreign trips, which tended to focus on HIV/AIDS and malaria awareness. This official portrait shows Bush in 2005.
