Brown Announces Re-Election Bid in California

California Gov. Jerry Brown (D) announced that he has taken out the papers to run for re-election, the Sacramento Bee reports.

Said Brown: “If you had asked me 40 years ago–when I first ran for governor–what I would be doing in 2014, I could never have guessed. Nor could anyone else. Yet, by the grace of God and habits of perseverance instilled in me by my family, the Dominican nuns and the Jesuits, I am here and ready to go.”
