2000 (Gubernatorial)

Another "coattail" (see Gore and Watt button), this button features a broom, an image used to promote political reform or a "clean sweep" of government. This button is from the North Carolina 2000 gubernatorial race between Democrat Mike Easley and Republican Richard Vinroot, in which Easley prevailed. Both candidates brought a new style of campaigning to the race, focusing on fund-raising and television advertising.
