I’m very interested in looking at that possibility of running for governor. I am looking at it seriously. - Toni Atkins

I don’t come from wealth, I don’t have that to fall back on. So I am going to have to raise money, and fortunately, I’ve had experience doing that as the Speaker and the Pro Tem to protect my caucuses.

I sort of feel like I’m addicted to responsibility. I think experience counts and matters, and I believe I have experience to continue to contribute in some way.

We want to preserve what we’ve done. It took a lot of work. I would not gravitate toward raising taxes in this moment. I don’t think it’s called for yet.
