Why running for re-election: “I guess I feel really good about what we’ve been able to accomplish the last three years and I want to continue. There are still things we want to do and need to do. I feel like I’m in a position where I can continue to help. I guess that’s the main thing — I just want to continue what we’ve been doing.”
