George W. Bush, the 43rd President of the United States, is originally from the state of Texas. It is in this state that he served as governor from 1995 to 2000, before being elected president.

Option 1, California, is incorrect because George W. Bush is not originally from this state, though he has lived and worked in various parts of the country.

Option 3, Virginia, is incorrect because, while Virginia is historically significant in terms of U.S. Presidents, with eight hailing from this state, George W. Bush is not one of them.

Option 4, Indiana, is also incorrect as Bush has no major ties to the state of Indiana.

Thus, the correct answer is Texas (Option 2), the state where he held political office before his presidency and is the place George W. Bush calls home.
