I ran for the Senate six times. And one of the things I know about Senate races off years and on races, and on years, the same as governor's races, is it's all local. It all gets down to what the specific issues in that - in that district or that state is.

Then I won the district and made it to state, but I just never went, because I was training, and tennis was a big part of my life at that point.
