I've seen firsthand that being president doesn't change who you are. It reveals who you are.
Every member of my family knows that running for office is a personal decision.
Running for president is hard. But it's good preparation. Because being president is a lot harder.
I always wanted to become president! When I was a kid, I was obsessed with politics.
I'm making this decision based on whether I believe in my heart that I'm ready to be president of the United States and that I want to be president of the United States right now.
