He graduated from Eureka College in 1932, and became a radio announcer and sportscaster.Reagan was a liberal democrat that supported Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal in the 1930s. In 1962, he joined the Republican party and became a champion in conservation causes. He cut state welfare, medical services, aid to public schools, and higher education when he was governor of California for two terms (1997-1975).
In 1980 he won nomination against President Jimmy Carter, with the help of his running mate, George H. W. Bush. Reagan had barely began his presidency when he was shot by John Hinckley, Jr. on March 30, 1981. Although he recovered completely and quickly, that time.
Ronald Reagan then discovered in 1994 that he had Alzheimer's disease. He hoped to raise awareness of this illness. Only a decade later Ronald Reagan died from this disease.
