Summary:
Later after finishing college, he campaigned for the Attorney General of Arkansas in the 1976 election. Eventually he won and the Republicans liked him so much that they didn't put a candidate against him. Four years later he ran for governor in 1980 but lost to other Republican Frank White. Later in 1982, Clinton grew more and more popular that he got many people on his side and he cruised off with the votes. He was then elected for governor and reelected four more years and another year in 1990. Back in 1989 President Bush asked him to be his co-chairman of a national meeting full of governors. And in 1990, Clinton was named chairman of the Democratic Leadership Council. Even later in 1991, Clinton admitted to run for president in 1992. By November 1991, Clinton started campaigning in New Hampshire, site of the first presidential primary & by late November, he had swept through the Democrats to win states like Pennsylvania, New York, Michigan, Illinois, and California.
Aha Moment:
After losing the election for governor in1980, Clinton stepped aside from politics and wasn't really known anymore. But after seeing that Governor White was doing a poor job as a governor, that's when Bill Clinton stepped up to try and help his people of Arkansas. On page 22, it says that "Clinton was soon back in public view, making speeches critical of Governor White." This shows that Clinton was setting a strong voice towards the people about Governor White that he was hurting the people instead of helping. And in 1982, Bill Clinton was now the new governor of Arkansas.
