Rudy Giuliani, began his career in law enforcement and eventually made his way to running for mayor. In 1989, he ran for mayor as a Republican against Democrat David Dinkins. He lost this campaign but this did not upset him. He eventually, ran for mayor again in 1993 against Dinkins. This time he focused on a plan to boost the city’s morale by attacking crime.
