Being the governor of a state is a more pivotal job in the future. I do indeed hope there's someone that says, "I'm going to go to Washington, try to get back to our constitutional roots, devolve the centralization of government back to the states." So why would you want to be up there if the action is down here in the states?

I want people of faith on my side, not just voting on election day but by hoisting me up by getting down on your knees and lifting me up in prayer.

We can stand in the gap together and speak about issues we believe in and we will be victorious.
