When I ran for governor of Minnesota, I only raised $300,000.

I ran into Isosceles. He had a great idea for a new triangle!

I ran for Congress, just once.

When I first ran for Congress in 1998, people counted me out.

I was very political when JFK ran.

In 1893 I founded a chemical company which I ran until 1899.

A couple of years ago I ran in the LA Marathon.

I thought I could make a difference, so I ran for office.

Ronald Reagan was older than I was when he ran for president.
