He says he won't run for anything in 2018.  Noncommittal for what happens after that.

Back in January the story was out that Castro was talking about his future an it was out if he ran in 2018 for anything he was planning for for long term like 2030's but if he didn't he would be running in 2020.......so we have our first entry into 2020
