Governors in the United States are becoming prime policy makers in
state and national politics. They preside over vast and
increasingly important administrative structures through numerous
appointments of key personnel and the management of growing
budgets. Governors provide leadership for state legislatures by
advocating their policy agendas, and by mobilizing public opinion
and political resources. Through these roles, governors have far
reaching influence in citizen's daily lives. This work examines
these major political leaders by closely examining the careers of
five recent governors (1960D2001): - Terry Sanford (1961D1965) -
Robert (Bob) W. Scott (1969D1973) - James E. (Jim) Holshouser Jr.
(1973D1977) - James G. (Jim) Martin (1985D1993) - James B. (Jim)
Hunt Jr. (1977D1985; 1993D2001) ...and compares their performances
in office with governors in other states. No other book has looked
as closely at the persons who serve as governors during this time
period.
