Additional Details

The New York governorship was Roosevelt's first major elected office, following stints in the state legislature and as Assistant Secretary of the Navy. His two terms in Albany were a foreshadowing of his presidency: massive public works projects, wide popularity, and even Frances Perkins as his state Secretary of Labor.
