Mark Larson, a long time San Diego radio icon has tabled a decision to run for Congress at this time. It’s not that he doesn’t want to, however, he explains it at his web blog: “All sorts of intriguing ideas and projects have come up… ironically all since I stuck a “date” on my decision process (by July 4) there’s been more to consider. But it’s a nice thing (and quite humbling) to hear from people with suggestions, new offers and even campaign advice. All of this has caused me to come to a decision of —”no decision” (yet) on Congress. Not ruling it out, or in. The filing deadline is a long way off (early 2008). It’s also clear that I need additional time to factor in fascinating new developments for my company, Mark Larson Media Services, Inc. In the last couple of days I’ve taken on a consulting project for a local media company. My SpeakersGroup.net been exploding with lots of new business, as has my commercial work with longtime clients such as El Cajon Ford. And guest-hosting on the Michael Reagan national talk show. There’s no shortage of things to do right now.
“It’s all good: I thank God for the opportunity to consider everything…and not miss anything along the way. I think He understands if I hold off a while longer on the Congressional adventure… Check in often — updates “as they become available”!”
