Nancy Reagan died Sunday at the age of 94. We remember her and look at her ties to California, where her husband, Ronald Reagan, began his political career. For most of her life, she saw to her husband’s political career.

He was governor in the late 1960s and early ‘70s. What was Nancy’s role in his political rise?
