I am continuing to explore a run in the Senate from Connecticut, absolutely exploring it. In fact, I would say exploring it intensely.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've always been intrigued by the Senate, and admired many of the people who have served there.
I am considering running for Senate, as well as other opportunities.
My motivation for running for Senate was not for the stature of being a senator, but because I wanted to make a difference on issues I feel passionate about.
I loved being in the Senate. That was a wonderful experience.
In the United States Senate, we cannot do great things without reaching across the aisle and working together - and I look forward to the challenges ahead.
I want to do my part in fighting for America's future. That's why I have decided to run for the United States Senate.
I just know that I'm innovative. I'm a quick thinker... In Washington, I just want to be a senator who finds a way to drive change and not figure out a way to conform.
The frustration of the Senate is that it's slow. It looks like an aquarium.
My focus has been on being a good congressman, and there is so much other work to do.
I'm focused, as you can tell, on 2014 and on doing my job as a senator.
