News Archive: Ronald Reagan announces for governor in California.


 n. a. (1966, January 5). Ronald Reagan announces for governor in California. The News and Courier, p. 1-A.

In reporting on the Reagan announcement, AP pointed out what one assumes was quite an unusual campaign pledge:
[Reagan] promised to wage a primary election campaign “without name-calling or personalities.  If in the coming primary you choose someone else to be the party nominee, he will have my whole hearted support.”
