Mayor Floyd Decides Against Governor Bid
Decatur Metro | June 25, 2009First on DM…
A couple days back, Jerry tipped me off to news that Mayor Floyd had decided not to run for governor, but asked that I get Bill’s blessing before posting. Two days after accepting the presidency at GMA, Bill was good enough to provide me with a little detail on why he decided against running for the state’s highest office.
I have decided not to run for governor, but for several reasons and not just who is in the race. Most are personal reasons ranging from 1. I like what I’m doing now 2. business – to – really personal reasons. All being said if I really had the “fire in the belly” I would run regardless of who else is running. One other small reason is, having to raise $10+ million dollars, not an easy task for anyone in this climate. So I am looking forward to continuing in the job the voters of Decatur have given me and doing the best job I can. I hope to get to know all the candidates for Gov and Lt Gov and make a wise choice about who to support.
