Pete Wilson got them to vote. It was his big contribution to democracy.
But he got them to vote Democratic.
Wrong again. In 1994, the year Proposition 187 won by a landslide with Republican support, Republican candidate Chuck Quackenbush was elected state Insurance Commissioner, Republican candidate Matt Fong was elected state Treasurer, Republican candidate Dan Lungren was elected state Attorney General, Republican candidate Bill Jones was elected Secretary of State, and Republican candidate Pete Wilson was elected governor.
Pesky old facts.
