Narrator: His fellow Governors voted him the most effective
Governor in America. The son of Greek immigrants, he served his country
in Korea and inspired by a young President named Kennedy, he chose
public service. Fifteen years later Michael Dukakis became Governor of
Massachusetts with the determination of a marathon runner.
He wiped out huge budget deficits, cracked down on corruption, cut taxes and
led an economic turnaround they called a miracle. Committed to making
the American Dream come true for everyone. He invested in daycare, job training,
and education, and brought jobs and a future to people in need, including
40,000 welfare mothers. Strength, innovation, caring, a quarter century of making
a real difference in the lives of real people.
Mike Dukakis. A President for the 90's.
