Lisa Brown for governor?

Maybe, in five years.

Brown talked about future political possibilities with Crosscut’s Austin Jenkins for a story published today.

The short version: On running for the open seat for state treasurer — seemingly a good fit for an economist and a much higher salary than senate majority leader: “People are still talking to me,” Brown told Jenkins. “But at this point it seems unlikely.”

As for a gubernatorial run in 2012, Brown seems at least interested in the possibility, Jenkins reports. “That’s an open door,” she told him.
