Buttons - Federal Campaign - 1968
I got kids. I'm for Maggie.
On the curl: 241-L
This button was part of the re-election campaign for U.S. Sen. Warren Magnuson of Washington State.
Interesting use of informal, handwritten letters on the button.

A button for U.S. Sen. Warren Magnuson, representing Washington State. Probably from 1968, but possibly from 1974 or 1980.

Jolene Working for You
For U.S. Congress, Democrat
Jolene Unsoeld served as the Congressperson for Washington State's 3rd District 1989-1995. Every now and then our paths cross at the grocery store, like last week, and I enjoy hearing her take on the political scene.
Don't know what the deal is with those brown spots. I am sure I picked this button up when it was new and pristine.

File Your Protest
OK, OK, I know this isn't a button. It's a nail file with a pun, but I am going to include it anyway. I picked this up at a booth at the Southwest Washington Fair in Washington State's 3rd Congressional District some time in the 1960s.
