Running for attorney general troubled me. Because I was worried I would simply become just a figurehead and that's not me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I ran for attorney general to be attorney general.
All I want to do is be the best attorney general that I can be.
They sent me the script, asking me to play the part of a general. I have never played the part of an authority figure. I've never thought of myself that way. I was uncomfortable with it, but I worked at it and knew I had a guttural voice for a general.
When I finished my term, I thought about running for governor then but decided not to because, frankly, I didn't think I was ready. I wasn't comfortable that I was prepared to do the job.
I was considering running for political office.
I was the governor that drew a tough, tough straw. I was governor during the worst recession since the 1930s, and I had to cut $5 billion from the state budget.
I have a record as attorney general that is separate from my personal beliefs.
I am running for Attorney General because I believe there is no higher calling than the pursuit of justice.
I thought I'd grow up to be a teacher, or maybe run for political office.
I ended up being the governor of a very ag state, Nebraska.
