FACT #10: Who was the “real” first female Governor? Part 2
Miram A. Ferguson became governor of Texas two weeks after Nellie Ross. Miriam's husband, Governor James Edward Ferguson, was impeached on 10 charges of embezzlement. Since he was prohibited from running for Governor he offered up his wife as a puppet candidate in the special election to replace him. They were very obvious about it - even having her use the slogan “Two Governors for the Price of One.” She won, however, she lost reelection. She ran again a few years later, serving a second term as governor from 1933-1937. While in office, she was accused, along with her husband, of accepting bribes. They also gave out so many pardons - nearly 4,000- that voters changed the state's constitution so that only politically independent Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles could issue pardons.
