The thing about the cabinet job was, travel was murder. I've never been afraid of hard work -- the thing is, I'd be able to work from the city I live in.

If Larry Campbell had run for mayor I never would have considered this. I think there's a vacuum of leadership here and a need for a mayor for the city who brings a positive vision.
