Biography

Garry South is a political consultant who managed Gray Davis's campaigns for Lt. Governor of California in 1994, and Governor in 1998 and 2002. He served as Davis's Chief of Staff during his term as Lt. Governor. He also advised or consulted on campaigns for Al Gore and Joe Lieberman, and has had an extensive career in Democratic Party politics. His firm, the Garry South Group, operates in Los Angeles.
Joseph Graham "Gray" Davis served as Chief of Staff for Governor Jerry Brown (1975-1981), a member of the State Assembly (1983-1987), state controller (1987-1995), Lt. Governor (1995-1999) and Governor (1999-2003). Davis's administration focused on education, the environment, healthcare issues and improving relations with Mexico. Davis left office in November 2003, after a special recall election was held ten months into his second term.

Scope and Content

The collection contains administrative files, research, correspondence, campaign materials, poll data, clippings, and recordings of commercials, news coverage and debates related to the political campaigns of Gray Davis from 1982 to 2003, compiled by Garry South.
The Gray Davis Record series (Series 1) is a gathering of statements, speeches, clippings and other materials that illustrate Davis's positions and opinions on a wide range of topics pertaining to the government of California, such as immigration, the environment, economics, health and subgroups of the population. Material on controversies during Davis's career is also included in this series.
Series 2 through 7 contain research materials, news clippings, schedules, publications, correspondence and recordings of commercials, debates and news coverage related to Davis's campaigns from 1982 through 2003. Records from the 1982 and 1984 Assembly campaigns, 1986 and 1990 Controller's campaigns and 1992 Senate primary campaign were not created by South, but became part of his files after he began working for Davis. These series also contain extensive research on Davis's opponents, either in primaries or general elections, such as Al Checchi, Jane Harman, and Dan Lungren in 1998, and Bill Simon and Richard Riordan in 2002.
Garry South's professional correspondence, including letters from friends and colleagues mostly regarding his work for Davis, and additional office files are found in Series 10.
