Outgoing Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) told reporters Tuesday that he has no existing plans to seek office again but did not rule out a future run.

“I’m not even concerned about that right now,” he said during a press briefing in the Capitol, adding that the country faces huge challenges.

In response to a question, he said Sen. John Kerry (D-MA), a rumored candidate for Secretary of State, would be an “excellent” choice for the job. If Kerry vacates his seat, Brown would have the option of making another run for senator.

“We’ll see what happens,” Brown said.

“Aside from my marriage to my wife and the birth of my kids, serving in the Senate has been the greatest honor of my life,” he said. “[There isn’t] an opening for senator. But there is an opening for a dad and a husband.”
