# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in Tampico, Illinois, in 1911, Reagan worked as a sports broadcaster in Iowa before moving to California in 1937 to become a film actor. He led the Screen Actors Guild twice and spent the 1950s hosting General Electric Theater, but his 1964 "A Time for Choosing" speech marked the pivot: elected governor of California in 1966, he balanced budgets and cracked down on campus protests. After losing the 1976 Republican primaries to Gerald Ford, he won a landslide over Jimmy Carter in 1980 and began implementing "Reaganomics"—deregulation, tax cuts, military spending—while escalating the arms race and surviving an assassination attempt in his first term. His 1984 reelection was one of the largest landslides in American history; the second term brought the secret Iran-Contra arms deal, the bombing of Libya, and negotiations with Gorbachev that ended in a nuclear treaty. He left office in 1989 with inflation down and the economy expanding, but the national debt nearly tripled. Diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 1994, he died a decade later, the architect of a conservative realignment that outlasted him.
