Guiliani is [[liberal]] on social issues such as abortion, gay rights and guns.  He attracted some support by conservatives by emphasizing law-and-order as mayor, which included reducing crime in New York City.  When U.S. Senator [[Daniel Patrick Moynihan]] announced that he would retire in 2000, Guiliani raised millions of dollars from conservatives in an apparent attempt to defeat [[Hillary Clinton]] for that seat.  But after Guiliani raised all that money, he declined to run and many have no idea what happened to their donations.

Prior to becoming mayor of New York City, Guiliani served as a prosecutor for the [[Department of Justice]] in the 1980s.  As U.S. Attorney, Guiliani presided over many high-profile arrests and prosecutions, many of them apparently publicity stunts.  Acquittals in the Southern District of New York are very rare, but juries acquitted former Miss America Bess Myerson and former Philippines First Lady Imelda Marcos of charges brought by Guiliani.
