Governor Reagan

During his time as governor of California (1967-1975), Ronald Reagan focused on several key issues, including restoring order to the state’s institutions of higher education, controlling government spending, and reducing taxes.

One of Reagan’s most notable accomplishments as Governor was his handling of the Free Speech Movement at the University of California, Berkeley. The university had become a center of student activism and anti-war protests in the 1960s, and the governor saw it as a major threat to the authority of the state. Reagan ordered the California Highway Patrol to remove protesters from the university’s campus, and this action was considered as restore order to the university. This move was controversial at the time, but it was widely popular among Californians who were frustrated with the disruptions on campus.

Reagan also sought to control government spending and reduce taxes during his time as governor. He implemented a series of budget cuts, which reduced state spending by millions of dollars. He also worked to reduce taxes, particularly property taxes, which helped to stimulate the state’s economy.

Bob Hope was a close friend of Reagan and was known to be a big supporter of his political career. Hope often joked about Reagan’s acting background and referred to him as “the Great Communicator.” He also frequently performed at Reagan’s campaign events and even at the White House during Reagan’s presidency.

John Wayne was another of Reagan’s close friends in Hollywood. Wayne was a vocal supporter of Reagan’s political career and campaigned for him during his run for governor. He also appeared in a campaign ad for Reagan’s presidential campaign in 1980. Wayne praised Reagan for his strong stance on national security and his leadership skills.

Lucille Ball was known to be a friend of Reagan, but she was more politically independent and did not publicly endorse him. However, she did host a number of fundraiser for him during his campaign for governor.

Other Hollywood figures who were known to be friends with Reagan include Frank Sinatra, Nancy Reagan and Shirley Temple. Some of them were republicans, but others were democrats, but they all had a good relation with him.
