As a Republican, Schwarzenegger was first elected on October 7, 2003, in a special recall election to replace then-Governor Gray Davis.
He was sworn in on November 17, to serve the remainder of Davis’ term.
He was then re-elected in the 2006 California gubernatorial election, to serve a full term as governor.
In 2011, he completed his second term as governor and returned to acting.
Schwarzenegger was nicknamed “the Austrian Oak” in his bodybuilding days, “Arnie” during his acting career, and “The Governator” (a portmanteau of “Governor” and “Terminator”) during his political career.
