Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) plans to launch a website on Tuesday that will include emails from his two terms as governor as well as the chapter of his new book.

The website will include a trove of emails Bush had promised to publicize as an act of transparency. A number of media outlets have already reported on those emails. The website will also include the first chapter of Bush’s upcoming e-book of his time as governor.

Bush, who has been making moves toward running for president in 2016, announced the website during a conference call with supporters and campaign staffers on Monday, according to The Wall Street Journal.

As he moves toward running for president, Bush has been eager to call attention to his work on education and immigration while serving as governor. He’s been conspicuously quieter on healthcare, despite the fact that Obamacare is a favorite punching bag of Republican presidential candidates.
