Gwenyfred Bush, better known as Gwen Bush,[1] (born 1930/1931)[2] is an American politician from South Carolina, a member of the Republican Party. She was born in Chamberlain, South Dakota.[2]

A former State Representative, she was a Republican nominee for a United States Senate seat in 1974 held by Ernest Hollings, a popular former Governor of South Carolina. This was also a year when Democrats made many gains while retaining all but one seat. Hollings defeated Bush with a large margin – 69.5–28.6%.

She is a namesake of the Gwen Bush Foundation.[4]
