Schwarzenegger Sworn in as Calif. Gov.

HeadlineNov 18, 2003

Arnold Schwarzenegger was sworn in yesterday as the 38th governor of California. Some 7,500 invited guests attended the inauguration ceremony, including four past California governors, Hollywood celebrities and foreign dignitaries. Schwarzenegger was elected into office in the Oct. 7 recall election that ousted Democratic Gov. Gray Davis. Schwarzenegger faces tough economic problems as governor, including a projected budget deficit of potentially more than $20 billion over two years. After being sworn in on the steps of the Capitol, Schwarzenegger said, “It’s no secret I’m a newcomer to politics. I realize I was elected on faith and hope. And I feel a great responsibility–not to let the people down.”
