While holding this office
While holding this office, a politician proposed the "Robin Hood" plan for more equitable school funding and had earlier given a Democratic keynote address mocking George H.W. Bush for being "born with a silver foot in his mouth." It's not a Cabinet position, but a man who had earlier held this job led Democrats for Nixon in the 1972 election. Possibly thanks to a rumor about being a lesbian, Ann Richards lost this position in a campaign marred by "dirty tricks" perpetrated by Karl Rove. It was held by John Connally while he was wounded during the John Kennedy assassination. For 10 points, name this state leadership position held by George W. Bush and Rick Perry.
