Were you thinking during the Malloy years, I'm going to run for governor? Like, when did you make that decision? I think I started making that decision when I saw GE left. When I saw us lurching from deficit to deficit. I saw a lot of people who are pessimistic and young people even. I thought we weren't doing as well as we should be doing. This is an amazing state.
