Lincoln Chafee: I'm Lincoln Chafee and I am a Democrat considering a run for president of the United States. 

The 2016 election is an important one for the Democratic Party and for America. 

Campaigns are times for debates about the vision for our future and for voters to assess the character and experience of those offering ideas.

When the Republicans were last in power, they left the economy in shambles.  Over the last six years, President Obama has led admirably.  He has revived our economy. 

As we look to the future in this age of nuclear weapons, I'm alarmed about the international instability, especially in the Middle East and North Africa.  I don't like where this is going.

Americans want safety, stability and sustainability.  We will need fresh ideas and the most skillful diplomacy in dealing with this eve- changing world.

Throughout my career as Mayor, Governor and United States Senator I exercised good judgment on a wide range of high pressure decisions--decisions that require level-headedness and careful foresight.  Often these decisions came in the face of political adversity.

During the next weeks and months, I look forward to sharing with you my thoughts about the future of our great country.  Thank you.
