Sen. Kirk Watson (D-Austin) has said that he is "very flattered" by Sen. Leticia Van de Putte's calling him to run for governor. But he is as yet undecided.
"I have a job I enjoy greatly, which is representing the citizens of Senate District 14," Watson said in a statement released today. "Over the next several weeks, I will evaluate the role I intend to play in serving Texas after 2010. That service may include running for and serving in another office or running for reelection. I intend to give this issue serious consideration, and I do not anticipate making any decisions in this regard until at least sometime after the end of the anticipated special session of the legislature, and probably not until the end of the summer."
