That's a tough one for me because my instinct is to say that government is never the answer. We should never be mandating anything, and it should be a grassroots, organic initiative. In this case, for me, it was a simple decision. I never thought I would run for elected office, to be honest with you, but I just kind of thought, why not? I think it's incumbent upon us as people in general that if we feel we can make a difference and that we should be involved, then we should get involved.
I think one of the greatest things about our society is that risk pays off. If you are going to take a big risk and run, I think that should be your first priority, and prioritizing your own campaign. For me, right now, my priority is to win. If I prioritize job security or—for heaven's sake—financial security, if anything, I think I'm doing myself a disservice in my own campaign. I would just say that I think the basic principles of our society will weigh out here, and the risk will pay off.
