4. I worked with him and for him early on.

You know he self-finances his campaigns. No one has to pay for so much as a button or yard sign.

I hope he does not run for President. We need him here. This state has been so screwed up by bad financial decisions and crooks. He has helped put us back on track. He hires the best people to work for him as well. The woman doctor who oversaw the pandemic was amazing. She was a black lady who was fluent in Spanish. When she finished reporting in English at a news conference, she then translated everything into Spanish. One day, things got to her. She turned her back and cried.

And, and I got to know him, I saw a large man who is overworked. He is not as healthy as you might think. He needs to slow down. When he gets tired, he is an angry bear. I want to keep him here. He is our angry bear. Maybe people here can make him rest when he needs it.
