He served his second two terms in the office of Governor of California with the Progressive resurgence under [[Barack Obama]]. The first term being as its 34th governor from 1975 to 1983. Two weeks after his election to his second term in 1978, 909 members of the [[Peoples Temple]] committed mass suicide, creating a scandal in the California [[Democrat Party]].
