Gov. Jerry Brown wins historic fourth term
Source: Sacramento Bee
Gov. Jerry Brown won re-election Tuesday to a historic fourth term, buoyed by an improving economy and a liberal-leaning electorate in a race so lopsided Brown barely bothered to campaign.
The election is likely the last for Brown, who first won office 40 years ago, in 1974, and is the state’s longest-serving governor. Brown’s agenda in his final term is expected to focus heavily on policies addressing climate change and on two controversial legacy projects: construction of a high-speed rail system and a water conveyance that eluded Brown when he was governor before.
The continuation of Brown’s administration will also test the patience of a Democratic-controlled Legislature that has agitated in recent years for more spending on social services and education. Brown has resisted Democrats’ most ambitious efforts, including proposals to extend temporary tax increases passed in 2012.
Brown led Republican Neel Kashkari 58 percent to 42 percent in early returns.

In his last race against Meg Ryan, the ads were non-stop. She was running radio ads 2 years before the election.
My thought is that Kashkari was using this race to set himself up for the next run (knowing he didn't stand a chance in hell against Brown). Also, he looks like an evil guy out of a Hollywood superhero movie. 
I have voted for him every time in his 40 year political career and proudly!
He is a fine man and a superb governor.
Thank god we have Governor Brown for another 4 years!
