Abstract
- The article discusses the career of Jerry Brown, a former Governor of California who is running for that position in 2010 against Republican opponent Meg Whitman. Between 1974 when Brown was first elected Governor to when he left office in 1983, his tenure was marked by unconventional thinking and the lack of a consistent partisan perspective when addressing issues. Particularly notable were steps he took that made California a leader in pollution standards, conservation, and renewable energy. In 1997 he returned to politics by getting elected Mayor of Oakland, California.
