Vicky Cayetano: Raised private funds to preserve old governor's residence

In 1997, Vicky married then Governor Ben Cayetano. Living in Washington Place, she became concerned that the historic residence was deteriorating and in need of repair. Vicky believed a new residence for the Governor was needed and that the historic residence should become a museum. Vicky founded the Washington Place Foundation, raised more than $1.2 million in private donations. By the end of 2002, the new Governor's residence was built--no public funds were used.
