== [edit] Political Involvement ==

Michum's political "training" came first in six years on the Board of Directors at the Screen Actors Guild from 1983-1989. He also served two years as the National 1st VP, making him the number 2 person leading a 74,000 plus member National Union - the same political training ground as SAG President Ronald Reagan - from 1987-1989.

Mitchum was the Republican nominee in the 1998 general election for the California State Assembly in the 35th District, which included portions of Santa Barbara and VenturaCounties. He lost the election to Democrat Hannah-Beth Jackson.

In 2012, Mitchum declared his candadicy for the United States House of Representatives in the 24th District as a Republican.

Mitchum claims his career in Hollywood was adversely affected by the fact he was politically conservative and a friend and frequent co-actor of John Wayne, another conservative actor and icon. He was forced to pursue a career in Europe in later years because of this alleged bias.[1]
