Sanford has long been rumored as a potential candidate for office in her own right. Following Sen. Jim DeMint's resignation announcement, South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, whose gubernatorial run Sanford had been an early supporter of, included her on her shortlist to fill DeMint's vacancy. After Haley appointed Rep. Tim Scott instead, Sanford has been mentioned as a potential candidate for Scott's vacant house seat along with her former husband. On January 14, 2013, she announced she would not be a candidate in the election.

Famous quotes containing the words political and/or career:
“Why, Sir, most schemes of political improvement are very laughable things.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a woman’s career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.”
—Ruth Behar (b. 1956)
