THE FIRST FAMILY

ELIOT SPITZER was elected governor by the people of the state of New York on November 7, 2006. On January 1st, 2007 he was inaugurated as our fifty-fourth governor.

In a speech he delivered on election night, Eliot said: “In a Spitzer administration, the road to responsive and responsible government will begin on Day One. It is a promise based not on false hopes or foolish pride, but on a simple notion of government that has been lost amid the bickering and partisanship of the last few years: the idea that if we work to give everyone the same opportunity — that if we ensure everyone plays by the rules — there is no limit to what we can achieve as a people.”
