Object Details

After completing her late husband’s term, Mary Elizabeth “Betty” Farrington used this handbill on the campaign trail in 1955. It touted her biography, legislative accomplishments, depth of experience, and friendly relationship with President Eisenhower. She won this election and worked tirelessly to make Hawaii a state, an accomplishment achieved in 1959, only two years after she left Congress.
