Every member of my family knows that running for office is a personal decision.

If you are prepared to run for public office, you also have to be willing to accept a debate about you.

I've often been asked to run for office. I have no desire to do that, I would not want my time with the family or the company restricted because of the demands of an elected position.

I'm not a politician. I'm not running for office. I can say what I think.

In my case, I think people are surprised that I'm doing exactly what I said I was going to do when I ran, because that's not the typical politician.

If I were running to be somebody, there are a lot of easier sombodies to be. After all, running against the incumbent governor of your own party in your home state is not the next logical step in a political life.

You don't run for public office unless you have a specific vision. You are driven by ideas and a vision.

I'm a politician. I run for office. That's my profession.

I'm not going to run for political office.
