Wesley Bolin

Wesley Bolin (July 1, 1909 - March 4, 1978), was a Democratic Party politician who served as governor of the U.S. state of Arizona between 1977 and 1978.

He succeeded to the governorship after the previous governor, Raul Hector Castro, was named Ambassador to Argentina by President Jimmy Carter. Under Arizona law, the Secretary of State was first in line to fill a vacancy in the governor's office. Bolin was Secretary of State for Arizona from 1949 until he assumed the office of Governor, and remains the longest-serving Secretary of State in Arizona history.[1]

Bolin died in office at the age of 68 in 1978 and was succeeded by Bruce Babbitt. The Wesley Bolin Memorial Plaza in Phoenix, Arizona was named after him, and has been designated as a Phoenix Point of Pride.[2]
