Famous quotes containing the words elected and/or governors:

—State of Utah, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“I do love this people [the French] with all my heart, and think that with a better religion and a better form of government and their present governors their condition and country would be most enviable.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
