That's an interesting option. Certainly seems the closest they're going to find this late to Platner's rhetoric. Though you have to wonder if he has anything close to the appeal and charisma needed. He did just lose a race after all.
He lost the governers race. While also a statewide election, you have to convince all of your neighbors you are the best candidate to make decisions for them, not represent them in the general respect.
State Senate in a lot of ways has more national power but less actual power
