I got involved in this because being raised in a certain kind of family gets you involved in political action early. I thought it was normal to have parents talk about social issues and politics and economics for two hours at the dinner table. |
I try to live every day as if it's my last. You can think, 'Run when you are 40.' Forty is not necessarily promised. My goal is to bring people into the fold. You've got to give people a reason to vote. |
I would hope that my candidacy would inspire others to get involved. |
Obviously, it seems to me that if turnout is low, it's harder to get 50 percent plus one. |
That was a hell of a number. |
