Outgoing Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards won't rule out another run for office

At his final press conference Monday, Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards indicated he’s not retiring completely from politics at the end of his term, leaving open the possibility for another run for public office.

“Obviously, I won’t be the governor this time next month, but I believe that I have some things that I can say and something things I’m going to continue on participating in, political and otherwise,” Edwards told reporters.

While the two-term governor said he currently doesn’t have any intentions of running for office again, he said he loves the state too much to rule it out. The Louisiana Constitution allows governor’s to serve more than two terms as long as no more than two are consecutive.

“I just don’t say never because you don’t know what the situation will be,” Edwards said. “Should my wife bless it and it is warranted, then I would do that.”
