About Earl Warren: Earl Warren, a Republican, had broad bipartisan support because of his centrist to liberal views. He is the only person to have been elected to the governorship of California for three successive terms (in 1942, 1946, and 1950). In 1946 he was the only governor in our history to win an election unopposed, for he won both the Democratic and the Republican primaries.

In 1948 Warren was the Republican Party's nominee for vice-president of the United States on a ticket headed by the popular Thomas A. Dewey. (That famous election was the only one Warren ever lost.) Interestingly, one of Warren's unsuccessful campaigns as governor was for universal health care.

In 1953 President Dwight D. Eisenhower appointed Earl Warren the fourteenth Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Among the Warren Court's most important decisions was the ruling that made racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional. Another was the "one-man one-vote" ruling that caused a major shift in legislative power from rural areas to cities.
