“Sacramento will always be my heart,” he said.
“I eventually wanna come back there one day and possibly run for mayor. Keeping things in perspective, I loved my time there. I appreciate the fans, I love it there and [I’m] looking to move back there one day and have that be my final resting spot.
“[I saw] Kevin Johnson do it,” he continued.
“Keeping a close eye on him and talking with him and talking with his cabinet at the beginning. It wasn’t so much about the politics of the game, I just loved what he did for the city.
“There’s a lot of stuff I’m doing behind the scenes that people don’t know for the city because I love the city so much. Hopefully one day, whether 10 or 15 years down the road, once my business stuff slows down and my kids get a little bit older, I can move to Sacramento and possibly do that.”
Will Barnes end up running for mayor when it is all said and done? Time will tell.
