Sen. Vitter Says He Might Run for Governor of Louisiana

DANIEL STRAUSS – DECEMBER 3, 2013, 6:28 PM EST

Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) is considering whether to run for governor in 2015.

According to an Associated Press report on Tuesday, Vitter said he will decide by January whether he plans to run for governor or not.

"This is the logical time to do it, if I'm ever going to do it," Vitter told the AP. "There are strong arguments in either direction, but the general question in my mind is where I think I can make the most positive contribution."

Vitter added that he thought he would be a "significant candidate" if he decided to run.
