Governor of California
in 1966, he was reelected in 1970. Reagan began his campaign for the presidency and
narrowly lost the 1976 Republican nomination to Gerald Ford.

elected President in 1980 and was reelected in 1984. After leaving office in 1989, he wrote his second autobiography,
An American Life
