PETE BARTON WILSON
Pete Barton Wilson signed this letter, typed on his personalized stationery as Governor of California in 1994, to thank the recipient for his support of his re-election campaign. Wilson was re-elected to a second term as governor that year.
Typed letter signed "Pete" in blue ink. 1 page, 7¼x10¼, on Wilson's personalized stationery as Governorof California. May 4, 1994. Mr. W. Ernst Minor, Cincinnati, Ohio. In full: "Dear Ernie: I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your gathering support for my re-election effort. I am honored that continue to share my vision for our great State. Friend like you have made it possible for me to continue our uphill battle to turn California around, and have made progress. We have passed the most sweeping jobs-creating tax reform since Proposition 13l; we have enacted 'Three Strikes, and You're Out' to keep repeated felon off our streets; and we will win re-election in November to continue our agenda of needed reform to make a California that's safe for jobs and safe for families. Ernie thank you again for your support. I look forward to seeing you soon. Warmest regards,". 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. Lightly creased. Light ink transference near bottom edge(does not touch signature). Folded twice and unfolded. Otherwise in fine condition.
