. While her name will still appear on the ballot, Chang-Díaz said she'll focus instead on progressive candidates running down-ballot.Highlights from this interview have been lightly edited for clarity.Well, so there was no one factor. But the single most limited resource on any campaign is time.
And we could have called some Hail Mary passes here to close the gap between myself and Attorney General [Maura Healey] in these 10 weeks. Or we can use that energy in the service of some fantastic down-ballot candidates who are also going to be great standard bearers for courage over politics. And I think that's the more responsible choice."You know, it is a competition among those choices. And you're right. That's one of the factors that I considered.
And I think that what has driven so many voters over the past three decades, honestly, to vote for Republicans in the corner office is the frustration and the cynicism with Beacon Hill and a desire to have somebody in the corner office who is going to be independent-minded relative to legislative leadership. And that is what this campaign was offering. And I found all over the state that it truly resonated. We did not have the time and resources to get that message in front of enough people.
My name remains on the ballot. We worked hard. It was an historic first to get the first woman of color in the state ever on the ballot for governor. And, although I am not going to be actively campaigning for myself for governor, I do still believe that I would make the best governor. And I'm going to vote for myself when I cast my ballot in this primary. And I'm unabashed about saying that.
