Pinback button promoting Tip O'Neill for Congress, Massachusetts, 1972. N.G. Slater Corp., New York.
First elected to Massachusetts' 11th in 1952, O'Neill would represent north Boston in Congress for over three decades and become Speaker in 1973, holding that position for a record five consecutive terms. This scarce pinback was issued for his 1972 campaign and plays off the familiar "Re-Elect the President" Nixon buttons circulating at the time.
