It was very constraining, much more than I ever would have thought, to run for governor.

We all leave personal legacies for the people we know and love.

It's our responsibility to pass on what we inherited, not to squander it, but to build on it.

We need to take advantage of the opportunity we have now to create a vision and become great.

We can leave our legacy only if we are willing to change - to go beyond partisan labels, and to solve the problems facing Washingtonians.

We are thinking ahead to long-term care, aware that many folks don't plan ahead and won't be ready. We want to see to it that people will have choices.
