Political Ties

A long-standing conservative politico, Uhler was selected in 1968 by then-Governor Ronald Reagan to serve on the California Law Revision Committee. Two years later, Reagan again tapped Uhler for another task--that of becoming the Governor's State Director of the Office of Economic Opportunity. This appointment resulted in Uhler's ascendancy to Reagan's gubernatorial cabinet as Assistant Secretary of the Health & Welfare Agency. In 1972, Governor Reagan asked Uhler to both create and serve (as Chairman) on the Governor's Tax Reduction Task Force. Years later, Uhler went on to co-author California Proposition 140 (1990).
