Object Details

In 2004, Allyson Schwartz used this button in her successful campaign for Congress. "We used a lot of this bright blue that’s good campaign blue, actually," she remembered later. "Someone once referred to it as a Schwartz blue because I used it so much." A seasoned veteran of the Pennsylvania state assembly, she earned a reputation for striking an independent course from her party, noting that bipartisan work is “what the legislative process is all about.”
