NFL player from losing team is considering running for office as a republican

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — This seems to be the year of the lost cause for Rocky Boiman.

First he works door-to-door for a Republican Congressional candidate in Ohio. In a year when Democrats take over the presidency and solidify their hold on the House and Senate, his man is voted out of office.

Then he becomes a linebacker for the Kansas City Chiefs, and they're having an even worse year than the GOP.

"I believe every person in America has a chance to reach as high as he wants," he said. "You just stay busy and keep working toward your goals."

If he ever does run for office, it will be as a Republican.

"I guess it's kind of how you're raised." he said. "I was raised in a middle class kind of situation. My dad got laid off when I was young and he fought his way out of it. I'm pro the American dream of capitalism, that you can become whatever you want. My dad has made a lot of himself without ever asking for a handout. I have that same philosophy."
