In a mock interview with her grandson, Barbara Boxer announces that she won’t run for reelection in 2016:
“I will not be running for the Senate in 2016,” says Boxer.
The California Democrat pledged to keep working. “I’m going to continue working on the issues that I love,” she said, “I’ll have more time to help other people.”
Boxer tells her grandson in the video, “I want to come home. I want to come home to the state I love so much.”
But she’s proud of all the support Californians have given her over the years. “I am beyond proud that the people of California have believed in me all these years.”
