REGION II (cont'd.)
Consumer advocate Mark Green, who failed in two previous bids for public office, won
big in the race for New York City's first-ever public advocate. Green, not an industry
friend, has a strong affiliation with consumer activist Ralph Nadar and as the head of the
City's Consumer Affairs Department he took on RJR.

such as council members to two four-year terms. A similar measure passed in Suffolk
County.

REGION V (VA, NC, TN, KY)
VIRGINIA
Republican George Allen won a landslide victory over Democrat Mary Sue Terry for
Governor of Virginia, regaining the office for his party after a twelve year absence. Allen's
win sealed a victory for James Gilmore III (R) over Democrat William Dolan III for
Attorney General and helped the Republican party pick up six seats in the House of
Delegates. One of Allen's favorite pastimes is chewing tobacco.
KENTUCKY
Democrat Jerry Abramson's defeat of perennial Republican candidate Tommy Klein for
Mayor of Louisville may mean more in 1995 and 1996 then this year. This leaves
Abramson free to decide whether to run in the Democratic primary for Governor in 1995 or
the U.S. Senate in 1996 against Republican incumbent Mitch McConnell.
In Lexington, Mayor Pam Miller won the nonpartisan race easily.

Republican Tom Fetzer won the Raleigh mayor's race by a narrow margin (51-49).

Atlanta City Councilman Bill Campbell fell just short of a majority in a 12-candidate race,

has promised to hold down taxes to discourage people from moving to the suburbs.
