Governor the aomori [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

The May 16, 2003 , when he has just been re-elected in January, the governor of Aomori Morio Kimura, in place since 1995, is forced to resign after losing the support of his majority (PLD-Kōmeitō) because of a sex scandal ^{[ 3 ]} . Shingo Mimura decides to be a candidate for his succession and receives the support of the PLD and his partners within the government coalition of center to power at the national level, the Kōmeitō and the new conservative party. His main rival, the academic Hokuto Yokoyama, already arrived second in the January ballot against Kimura, is invested by all the non-communist opposition forces: the PDJ, the Liberal Party, the PSD and even the “club of the self -employed” to which Mimura, however, belonged until then ^{[ 4 ]} . He campaigned by calling for more rigor in financial reforms and on the theme of employment promotion.

On the day of the election June 29, 2003 , he was elected after a tight battle with 48.3% of the votes cast against 45% in Yokoyama, 20,000 votes separating the two men, the participation stood at 52.46% of the registrants. He officially enters the first ^is following July ^{[ 5 ]} . At 47, he is the youngest of the governors of the time, while the prefecture finds itself in the particular situation where two members of the same family find themselves at the same time at the head of the executive and in the legislative body Regional (the father of Shingo Mimura, Giin, is still a member of the prefectural assembly).

His motto is then: “a company that creates good life conditions”, and is thus based on a “plan for the creation of good living conditions” adopted in 2004 including a program to assess public policies ^{[ 6 ]} . He presents himself above all as a defender of the local economy, in particular of local agriculture and in particular that of the apple (of the Fuji variety), the prefecture being the first producer of this fruit in Japan. As such, he militates strongly with the central government to maintain limitations to the importation of American fruits and strong phytosanitary measures at the borders to avoid development in the bacterial fire archipelago ^{[ 7 ] , [ 8 ]} .

It supports nuclear energy which has become one of the main economic sectors and providers of the prefecture since the decision in 1993 to install the used nuclear fuel reprocessing plant from the Japan Nuclear Fuel Ltd (JNFL) In the Rokkasho nuclear site, strongly criticized by ecological movements (notably Greenpeace ^{[ 9 ]} ), personalities (like the musician, composer, producer and actor Ryūichi Sakamoto who launched in 2006 the international campaign “Stop Rokkasho” ^{[ ten ]} ). However, it subjects the development of this industry to the need to establish strict safety rules. THE November 22, 2004 , Shingo Mimura signs with the representatives of the JNFL and the mayor of Rokkasho a security agreement prior to the experiments on uranium ^{[ 11 ]} , and authorizes the 29 mars 2006 The launch of the first nuclear waste treatment tests produced by Japanese power plants (tests which end in August 2007, allowing the commercial launch of the factory for full production planned for 2011) ^{[ twelfth ] , [ 13 ]} . In addition, the April 14, 2005 , he accepts JNFL’s request to build a MOX fuel production factory still in Rokkasho ^{[ 14 ]} , which allows the prefecture to obtain 980 million yen (US $ 9 million) in additional central government subsidies per year and over a period of two years from 2006 ^{[ 15 ]} . He also strongly supports the installation of the International ITER International Thermonuclear Reactor Project in Rokkasho, declaring the December 8, 2004 : “I believe that it would have an international meaning to welcome the ITER in Asia, whose population and the economy have experienced strong expansion” ^{[ 16 ]} , and finally obtains, in exchange for the choice of Cadarache in France in July 2005 , the establishment of a research center linked to ITER in the prefecture ^{[ 17 ]} .

The May 17, 2007 , he presents himself to his own succession, always with the support of the PLD and the Kōmeitō, with a view to the election of June 3: not having this time an opponent invested by the PDJ in front of him, he n ‘faces that the leader of the local Communist Party and an anti-nuclear activist ^{[ 18 ]} And prevails with a clear advance since he obtains 79.3% of the votes during a ballot marked by his low stake and therefore his low participation (only 38.45%) ^{[ 19 ]} . It is the same during the next election of June 5, 2011 , carrying it largely, with the same supporters, bringing together on its name 74.53% of the votes against two anti-nuclear candidates (Mimura was thus the only one to continue the policy of development of the civil nuclear industry in the Prefecture, after verification of the safety of existing power stations in a context marked by the Fukushima nuclear accident ^{[ 20 ]} ): Takashi Yamauchi (invested by the two ruling parties on the national scene, namely the PDJ and the NPP) arrived second with 17.79%, the Communist Yō Yoshimata closing the walk with 7.68%. Participation is then slightly higher than four years earlier (41.52%) ^{[ 21 ]} .
