Jerry Brown, the Democratic governor of California from 1975 to 1983 and 2011 to 2019, ran a campaign to be elected President of the United States in the 1992 presidential election.
Brown had previously ran for president, unsuccessfully, in 1976 and 1980, losing both Democratic nominations to Jimmy Carter. He announced his 1992 campaign on October 16, 1991, and eventually competed against five other candidates. He ran a populist campaign focused heavily on corruption in politics. He was hurt by allegations that he had changed too much of his positions from what he believed previously. In March 1992, the Democratic primaries narrowed to Brown and Bill Clinton, who ended up winning the nomination and the presidency. Brown ended the campaign in July 1992, after winning six primaries and more than 500 delegates.
