A member of the Democratic Party, Clinton was known as a New Democrat, and many of his policies reflected a centrist 'Third Way' political philosophy. He is the husband of former secretary of state, former U.S. senator, and two-time candidate for president Hillary Clinton. In the early 1980s, Clinton made reform of the Arkansas education system a top priority of his gubernatorial administration. The committee transformed Arkansas's education system. Proposed reforms included more spending for schools (supported by a sales-tax increase), better opportunities for gifted children, vocational education, higher teachers' salaries, more course variety, and compulsory teacher competency exams. The reforms passed in September 1983 after Clinton called a special legislative session—the longest in Arkansas history. Many have considered this the greatest achievement of the Clinton governorship. Clinton said abortion should be kept 'safe, legal, and rare'—a slogan that had been suggested by University of California, San Diego political scientist Samuel L. Popkin and first used by Clinton in December 1991, while campaigning.
