"If I feel that I'll be the best Governor the state ever had…”

"If I feel that I'll be the best Governor the state ever had, I'll probably run,” is a quote from Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman. In an interview with KVBC he hinted at a run for Governor of Nevada, but would not say for sure.

In the interview posted on kvbc.com Goodman said, “…I'd like to run as a non-partisan because I like being a non-partisan mayor. I think it's a wonderful thing when you don't have to get involved in party politics."

The article says Goodman knows the run for Governor would be tough as an independent, but he’s up for a challenge. In April of 2007, Mayor Goodman was re-elected to a third and final term, receiving 83 percent of the votes.
