[Rarebooks] FS: Texas Governor Ann Richards 1994 Election Window Placard

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

Texas Governor Ann Richards Election Window Placard.

Although not dated, this is probably for the 1994 election.

“Dorothy Ann Willis Richards (1933-2006) was an American politician and 
45th Governor of Texas (1991–95). A Democrat, she first came to national 
attention as the Texas State Treasurer, when she delivered the keynote 
address at the 1988 Democratic National Convention. Richards was the 
second female governor of Texas and was frequently noted in the media 
for her outspoken feminism and her one-liners. Born in McLennan County, 
Texas, Ann Richards became a schoolteacher after graduating from Baylor 
University. She won election to the Travis County Commissioners' Court 
in 1976 and took office as Texas State Treasurer in 1983. She delivered 
a nominating speech for Walter Mondale at the 1984 Democratic National 
Convention and the keynote address at the 1988 Democratic National 
Convention. Richards won the 1990 Texas gubernatorial election, 
defeating Texas Attorney General Jim Mattox in a Democratic primary 
run-off election and businessman Clayton Williams in the general 
election. She was defeated in the 1994 Texas gubernatorial election by 
George W. Bush. She remained active in public life until her death in 
2006” [Wikipedia].
