New Republican Star Rises In California Not Reagan
Robert H. Finch, a Los Angeles lawyer and veteran political strategist, surged to become California’s top Republican vote getter in 1966 by winning lieutenant governor. He defeated Democratic incumbent Glenn Anderson by 1.2 million votes, a margin larger than Reagan’s. Finch's future could include governor or U.S. Senate bids, though he hedges on which path. He has long ties to George Murphy and Kuchel, and may join Reagan’s administration in a rising role.
