John Fife Symington III
served as the 19th governor of Arizona from
1991 until his resignation in 1997. A member
of the Republican Party, he resigned from
office following convictions on charges of
extortion and bank fraud. Symington was
elected to the governorship in 1990 over
Democratic Phoenix Mayor Terry Goddard,
following a close campaign that resulted in
a runoff election. During his first term,
Symington established charter schools in
Arizona by signing sweeping education reform
legislation, with the first charter schools
opening in the state in 1995. |
