On Principles & Values: “Game on”, but maybe as Republican or maybe independent

Christy Mihos, a convenience store magnate and former member of the Massachusetts Turnpike Commission, filed papers with the state establishing a bank account for use in a gubernatorial campaign.“It means game on, I guess,” Mihos said. The millionaire refused to say how much money he put into the account.

Mihos, a registered Republican whose family founded the Christy’s convenience store chain, said last fall he was considering a campaign for governor but would wait for Gov. Mitt Romney to announce whether he was seeking re-election. The governor announced Dec. 14 he would not seek a second term.

“In deference to the governor, we did nothing until he announced. And now we’re filing what we have to file, and now we’re meeting with folks and bringing on the people we need,” he said. “We’ll get there, just more turtlelike than the others.” Mihos has yet to announce whether he will run as a Republican or as an independent.
