Buttons - State Campaign - 1930s
Martin For Governor
Clarence Martin, a Democrat, served as Washington State Governor from 1933-1941. His political base was in Cheney, near Spokane. He was the last Governor here arriving to office directly from Eastern Washington.
This button is quite small, about the same size as a nickel.

Don Bonker, U.S. Senate
Congressman Bonker had a strong showing in the 1988 U.S. Senate Washington State primary, but fell short of gaining the Democratic spot for the general election.

Mike Lowry, U.S. Senate
On the curl: Paid for by Mike Lowery [sic] For U.S. Senate Committee, Mary Lowery Treasurer
Possibly from his earlier run for the same office in the 1983 special election, but I'm guessing I picked this up in 1988. He lost both elections, but went on to serve one term as Washington State Governor, 1993-1997.

City Limits Gazette # hup, hup, hey! (July 1991), excellent condition, no creases
City Limits Gazette # dead porcupine icebox (Oct. 1991), excellent condition, no creases
State of Beings # 11. Georgia! (June 1992), slight and gentle crease on lower right corner. Given the color of the paper, I'm thinking this was a special printing not distributed with CLG as a bonus.

City Limits Gazette # Zizz (Mar. 1993), excellent condition, no creases
City Limits Gazette # Ecstatic static on automatic (Mar. 1993) No creases, but cover appears to have some small red watercolor(?) stains
None of the above issues of CLG include the State of Beings bonus comic.
CLG was normally folded before it was mailed to subscribers, so unfolded copies are quite unusual to find.

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.

Buttons - Federal Campaign - 1968
Wrong again.
Republican Jack Metcalf used this phrase as his campaign theme in his unsuccessful bid to unseat incumbent U.S. Senator Warren Magnuson of Washington State in 1968.

Senator Cranston
I picked this button up in the summer of 1974 in Santa Barbara, California. Alan Cranston, a Democrat, was running for a second term in the U.S. Senate.

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.
