SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Ann Romney says she thinks her son may run for Utah governor in 2020.

Romney said on the "Today" show on Monday that she is encouraging him to do it, so he can make a difference.

Josh Romney is a Salt Lake-based real estate developer, and has said that many people have asked him to run for political office.
