William Brennan

William Brennan was an American politician and jurist. Brennan graduated from Harvard Law School in 1931, served in the United States Army during World War II, and eventually became a judge in his home state of New Jersey. A liberal Democrat, Brennan was elected Governor of New Jersey sometime before 1964, and became popular for his articlulate rhetoric and progressive ideals.

Brennan ran for the Democratic nomination in the 1964 presidential election, but lost to former Vice President Lyndon Johnson, who in turn lost the presidency in a landslide to Republican Senator Barry Goldwater. Brennan ran again in 1968, and was selected as the Party's vice presidential nominee. Brennan and California Senator Alan Cranston would go on to narrowly lose to the Republican ticket of Joseph Foss and Hal Warren.
