Gov. Jerry Brown has ruled out a run of president, but he wouldn’t mind being mayor again.
Though the California Democrat has run for president in the past, he says he’s not interested in a campaign for the White House now. But in an interview with the Los Angeles Times, he wouldn’t rule out a return to one of his smaller posts after his time in the governor’s mansion.
“I wouldn’t mind being mayor of Oakland,” the 76-year-old said. “But I don’t know, when I’m 80 and a half, whether I’ll have the same appetite. I’m very excited doing this job.”
Brown, who says he now governs “from a base of enormous experience,” said he doesn’t want to “foreclose my options four years from now,” when his term as governor concludes.
