Republican presidential hopeful Jeb Bush, former Florida governor, who has already published some 300,000 emails from his time as Florida governor, once again plans to make a point of his exemplary record-keeping by releasing 33 years of his personal income tax returns.

According to the Associated Press, Bush's decision "is consistent with the high level of disclosure he has practiced during his life in public office," said his campaign spokeswoman Allie Brandenburger.

With the three-decade-plus release, the brother of former President George W. Bush and son of former President George H.W. Bush will set a new record in American politics, Time detailed as he out-publishes then-Sen. Bob Dole, who in 1996 had released 30 years of returns.

In 2012, however, Republican nominee Mitt Romney limited himself to two years, though the former Massachusetts governor's returns included "hundreds of documents detailing complicated financial positions lingering from his time as a private equity executive," the magazine noted.

Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, has yet to release her latest financial figures beyond the mandated filing of her assets with the Office of Government Ethics. During the former New York senator's first White House run in 2008, Clinton had published eight years of returns, Time said.

Bush "has long portrayed himself as a politician who is transparent about his correspondence and records," the Washington Post recalled. When Bush released his gubernatorial email archive in February, the candidate insisted that he did so in a "in the spirit of transparency" even though the messages had already been obtained by several news organizations, as well as a Democratic super PAC, USA Today noted.

"Some (of the emails) are funny; some are serious; some I wrote in frustration," Bush noted at the time. "But they're all here, so you can read them and make up your own mind."

Nevertheless, some news could come out of the tax returns because the documents are likely to show Bush's "recent substantial success as a business person," a facet of the candidate that has not yet been widely reported, the Washington Post predicted.
