FREEMAN'S CAMPAIGN DIARY
CRANSTON FOR PRESIDENT CAMPAIGN - 1984
 Alan
Cranston was Senator from California
from September 1969 to 1993. In February,
1983 he declared his candidacy for President
of the United States. Jo joined his national
campaign staff as Associate Political Director
in September. While a student at the University
of California at Berkeley, Jo had worked
for Cranston when he successfully ran for
state Comptroller in 1962, and first ran
for the Senate in 1964. Cranston lost that
primary on June 2, 1964, but was elected
to the Senate four years later (when Jo
was living in Chicago). The Cranston presidential
campaign came in second (to Mondale) in
the 1983 fundraising race, but lost badly
in the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary.
