Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, who has been hailed as a hero since he was beaten while coming to the aid of a grandmother calling for help, told The Associated Press on Thursday that he isn't ruling out a run for governor.
But Barrett said he doesn't expect to make a decision for at least a month and is focusing on his health and his mayoral duties.
"I'm flattered that people have mentioned my name in conjunction with that, but I've got to heal myself before I even start thinking about that," he said.
