Issue positions

Borrell issued the following statement regarding his bid for office:

I am running for office for several reasons:
  1. I feel am the best man to lead and serve the American people. There is no higher honor than this.
  2. Doing it for my Country. The United States is the best Country in the world, I am a patriotic person.
  3. Personal goals, for the longest time people would ask me about my career goals. I would give loosely defined answers such as "I want to be in a leadership position". It eventually became clear to me that I can not settle for the goal of being Secretary of State, or Vice-President. I am a competative person, I have to go for number 1.
  4. I have lived much of my life in depression. The root of it is being constantly beaten down by in-competence. In the Navy, you can only take so much of it before you finally start fighting back.
  5. Even though it has not been made public knowledge by the media, I have accomplished a lot in Military / Government Service. The next logical step for me is the Presidency.
