San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom (D) said that he "will file a ballot statement this afternoon just in case he decides to run for lieutenant governor," the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Newsom told reporters that "filing the necessary paperwork is not a clear indication that he'll run -- but that he's considering the option and that he'll make up his mind in the next couple of weeks."
Said Newsom: "I truly am analyzing it. I've made no decision. It's not done already and I'm just processing it."
