On this great election day where America has the right to share not only our opinions but to vote for those who we feel strongly about. It is a great deed that we are allowed to do such a thing. I thought to celebrate this event I would share with you another wonderful politician who also had a birthday in November. Perhaps some will best remember him as governor of Massachusetts.
Michael Stanley Dukakis was born November 1933. As I said he served as the Governor of Massachusetts for 3 terms. First in 1975 to 1979 and then again from 1983 to 1991. The second ever Greek American received the nomination from the Democratic Party for president in 1988. However he would lose to then Vice President George H.W. Bush.
Mike Dukakis was one of the most popular governors and helped bring back the democrats voting rate. Even after had left office he continued to serve on the board of directors for Anitrak. Mike also taught a class at the Northeastern University and UCLA.
