PETE WILSON
As Mayor of San Diego, the future US Senator and Governor extends his
best wishes to radio and TV host, George Sanders.
Autograph Note signed "To George/Best wishes/Pete Wilson/2/10/78"
in blue ink.Blue ink notations near bottom edge. 5¼x7¾. Republican
politician Wilson, born in 1933, has a long career in California
politics, serving on the state assembly (1967-1971) and as Mayor of San
Diego (1971-1982), U. S. Senator from California (1983-1991) and
Governor of California (1991-1999). A fiscal conservative as mayor and
Senator and strong supporter of national defense and President Ronald Reagan's
Strategic Defense Initiative in Washington, D. C., he angered conservatives
during his first year as governor by raising state taxes (in the land of Ronald
Reagan, no less) by $7 billion to cover a deficit left over from the
administration of George Deukmejian. But Wilson generally made headlines for
more conservative actions, including his support for "Three Strikes"
sentencing requirements, enacted in California in 1994, and for 1994's
Proposition 187, which barred illegal immigrants from social services, health
care and public education; resuming the death penalty in California;
reducing infrastructure spending; and, in 1995, convincing the University
of California's Board of Regents to eliminate their affirmative action policies,
thus becoming the first state to eliminate racial preferences in college
admissions. George R. Sanders, originally a disc jockey, became a prominent
radio/TV interview host, first in Los Angeles and later in Portland. Lightly
toned and creased. Torn from binding at left edge. Otherwise in fine
condition.
