I thought you were wanting to. Why would you have ever HAD to run?
I did. At the time, we didn't have a candidate in the district I was seeking to run in. I had set a deadline of the end of this week and if no one had filed, I was going to file on Monday to run. But, yesterday, the campaign manager of the guy that has been winning elections here for the better part of a decade, filed to run, and she gives us our best chance to win. I would have done fine in my home county, but would have really struggled up north because this guy is immensely popular and I can't see him endorsing me over her, so it would have been an uphill battle up there. Plus, my views don't necessarily alight the best with this district right now, though I think I would have done well enough to be competitive. Plus, I am not a fan of primaries. I will let the other party beat each other up for a few month, while we will run a unified campaign and candidate and hopefully, have a leg up.
I am a political junkie! Can't you tell? LOL
