No shock, just curiosity

Not being a party member, insider or -- in some recent years -- a voter... I have no clue what took Mike Erlandson so long to announce officially that he's in the primary battle for the 5th District. Doesn't seem like a surprise to me so I don't know what's been going on in that campaign for the last 3 weeks.
