Get me rewrite: "Forgive me for the length of this statement, but I'm running for Mayor of Milwaukee"


And forgive me for mistaking this for a campaign statement.



Opening sentence:
Forgive me for the length of this statement, but I have a lot to say.

In case you missed it:
Decrying 'timidity,' Bob Donovan announces run for mayor.  (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 7/29/2014)

Cultivating his core constituencies.
Donovan can likely count on the support of the Milwaukee Police Association, which put his Serb Hall rally on its website. And he has gained support before from Milwaukee Professional Firefighters Local 215, which represents the city's firefighters. 
Michael Crivello, MPA's president, said "at this point we have not endorsed anybody. "It's exciting — and telling — that members of the council are willing to challenge the current mayor. What we need is a mayor who puts safety above politics," Crivello said. 
David Seager [About Us/Elected Officials], head of the firefighters' union, said in an email "that as this juncture it's too early" to endorse a candidate. Seager was at the Donovan rally.
