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.
