J.C. Watts to run for Republican National Committee Chairman? Watts is a former Oklahoma conservative who served in the House from 1994-2002.
Watts said,
My concern right now, and I don’t say this necessarily as a candidate [for RNC chairman], my concern is that as a Republican, every single Republican in America ought to be concerned about what has happened in 2008 and 2012. In this business, if you’re not growing, you’re dying.”
Before being a politician Watts was a professional quarterback in the Canadian Football League. J.C.Watts played for the Ottawa Rough Riders in the 1981 Grey Cup.
