Best Answer

In 1966, Reagan, who was best known as an actor at the time, defeated incumbent California governor Edmund G. "Pat" Brown Sr.

Brown, a Democrat who had served as governor since 1959, had won re-election in 1962, defeating future president Richard M. Nixon.

Reagan served two terms as governor. When he left office in 1975, his successor was Edmund G. "Jerry" Brown Jr., son of the man Reagan had defeated.
