Peter Ford, co-president of UROC
"In 1995 Peter ran for a non partisan elected office to become a member of the Los Angeles Unified School District. He did not win, but he received over 10,000 votes.
His interest in education drove him again, to become a candidate, as Trustee of the L. A. Community College District - Office #1. The election was in April 1999. He was not successful, but he garnered over 30,000 votes. The outcome of these two efforts sparked considerable interest by many people who have encouraged Peter to seek a partisan political office in the future.
Peter is retired, but remains active in many endeavors. In October 1999 Peter was elected as California co-president of UROC (United Republicans of California)...."
