Language: English
Abstract: The re-election campaign was officially kicked off in March 1982. Dick Thornburgh knew he still had goals to achieve, especially an economic development plan. Democrat three-term U.S. Congressman, Allen Ertel, of Williamsport, announced his candidacy for Governor in February 1982, and was joined by James Lloyd for Lieutenant Governor. Although the first statewide poll showed Thornburgh and Scranton with a 56-33 percent lead, Reagan's waning popularity in view of the economic recession was a danger sign for Republican candidates. After the election, the number of GOP Governors nationwide fell from twenty-three to sixteen and only three Republicans, in the largest states most affected by the recession, won. Of those Thornburgh's winning margin was by far the largest. The campaign files here document the Thornburgh administration's accomplishments to date, with related backup material and TV ads. The campaign news clippings monitor the progress of the campaign as do the MOR (Market Opinion Research) polls. The files are divided as follows: Campaign Plans and Announcement; Achievements Binders; Achievement Ads and Backup Information; Campaign Positions; Opposition Research, Potential Candidates; Opposition Research, Ertel and Lloyd; Campaign in Progress; Events; Press Files; News Clippings; and Post Election and Inaugural. There are four scrapbooks that contain some material not available elsewhere, particularly some staff notes and memoranda. Digital reproductions of portions of the collection are available
online.
This finding aid is available on line as result of a Commonwealth of Pennsylvania grant to the University of Pittsburgh and with collaboration of the Archives Service Center and the Digital Research Library.

Series X. Re-election Campaign for Governor 1982
|
Scope and Content Notes: The Re-election Campaign began in earnest early in the fall of 1981. At that point three of the first years as Governor had passed and there were many agenda items, which had been checked off. "Neil Peirce, in a piece entitled 'Pennsylvania's Thornburgh: Extraordinary Governor,' stated [Thornburgh's] belief that 'political capital can be made of unadorned good management' and took note of 'the Thornburgh style - the calm, deliberate method he brought to Three Mile Island and now applies to virtually every problem ... If such a steady-as-you-go management is proving popular in Pennsylvania, why not elsewhere?'" (Evidence draft, p. 513). In spite of such praise and record of accomplishments, Thornburgh knew he still had goals to achieve, especially an all-important economic development plan, and knew at the outset there would be no landslide in the forthcoming election.
Three-term U.S. Congressman, Allen Ertel, of Williamsport announced his candidacy for governor in February 1982, and was quickly endorsed by the Democratic State Committee, as was James Lloyd for Lieutenant Governor. Ertel's announcement speech "stated, falsely in both cases, that the state 'had the second highest unemployment rate in the nation' and that 'while the federal government has cut income taxes, the Thornburgh administration has raised them.' Such exaggerations and falsehoods were to characterize much of his campaign" (
Evidence, p. 178). The nation was in recession at the time and Pennsylvania's unemployment rate reached as high as 11.3 percent in September 1982. "We consistently responded to Ertel's near-exclusive focus on the economy by noting the national character of our economic quandary, reminding voters that Pennsylvania was not 'an island of unemployment in a sea of prosperity'" (
Evidence, p. 179).
Thornburgh's re-election campaign was kicked off in March 1982, and at each stop accomplishments of the first term were emphasized. Included in the list were: "an end to corruption, an end to 'credit-card government,' a reduction in the bloated bureaucracy, a refusal to raise taxes and the revitalization of PennDOT ... In addition to continuing to work for better management, tax restraint and economic recovery, [Thornburgh] pledged to reform the welfare system, end the state's liquor monopoly and fight the burdensome and expensive twice-a-year auto inspections" (
Evidence, p. 179). Television ads, available here online, primarily reviewed the record of Thornburgh's first term.
Important endorsements were forthcoming and the first statewide poll, on October 1, conducted by the
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, showed Thornburgh and Scranton with a 56-33 percent lead. However, Reagan's popularity was waning nationally in view of the economic recession and this was a danger sign for Republican candidates. "The
Wall Street Journal weighed in with a piece describing [Thornburgh] as 'one of the political phenomena of this recession year' and having run 'a clean, efficient and economical state government.' The article included an interesting observation from Julius Uehlein, state AFL-CIO president: 'If it weren't for the economic issue, I imagine [Thornburgh] would be invincible'" (
Evidence, p. 185). When all was said and done, virtually every major newspaper endorsed the Thornburgh-Scranton campaign across the state.
Keeping in mind the Democrats' 678,000-voter registration advantage and a relentless attack by Ertel during this period of severe economic decline and increasing unemployment, there was reason for the Thornburgh camp to feel uneasy, despite its significant accomplishments. Perceptions of Thornburgh's achievements were seriously affected by national discontent and a Democratic tide swept the country that year. "Nationwide, the number of GOP governors tumbled from twenty-three to sixteen as Democrats defeated nine incumbents ... and only three Republicans [in the largest states most affected by the recession] won ... Of the three, [Thornburgh's] winning margin was by far the largest" (
Evidence, p. 189).
The campaign files here well document the message of accomplishment, with related backup material and TV ads proclaiming the facts. Also of note is the detailed opposition research, particularly about Allen Ertel. The campaign news clippings specifically monitor the progress of the campaign, it's ups and downs, odd incidents, endorsements, and ultimately the election results. The MOR (Market Opinion Research) polls are of particular interest as the campaign regularly tracked the race with its own polls. The files are divided as follows: Campaign Plans and Announcement; Achievements Binders; Achievement Ads and Backup Information; Campaign Positions; Opposition Research, Potential Candidates; Opposition Research (Ertel and Lloyd); Campaign in Progress; Events; Press Files; News Clippings; and Post Election and Inaugural.
Of special interest to researchers will be the four scrapbooks assembled after the campaign, which track it in content as well as in the media. These were undertaken at the request of the candidate, immediately post election, and, in fact, contain some material not available elsewhere, particularly some staff notes and memoranda. These are colorful and informative and include issues, media coverage, internal campaign staff comments and notes, as well as campaign ephemera. These campaign scrapbooks have been reformatted for preservation purposes. All collection scrapbooks are enumerated in Section 21 here.

Scope and Content Notes: These files are collections of statements and facts assembled by the Thornburgh campaign, which document the achievements of the first term administration. Some of the topics included, for example, are: transportation, education, economic development, Three Mile Island, human services, farmers, women and minorities. For archival purposes, the files have been removed from their original binders and placed in folders. The term "binders," however, has been preserved in the titles, indicative of the original order. "Bullets" in effect describes a crisp, clean statement of an accomplishment, and has been retained here as used by the campaign.

Subseries 6. Opposition Research, Ertel and Lloyd
|
Scope and Content Notes: These files contain extensive research on the two actual candidates for the 1982 election: Allen Ertel (Governor) and James Lloyd (Lieutenant Governor). They contain research on many of the same areas of the Thornburgh "achievements": economic development, budget and taxes, energy and environment, women, farmers, and others. The Ertel files are divided into six sections: Research binders, General issues, Constituencies, Miscellaneous issues, Personal and political history, and 1982 Campaign. The James Lloyd files include research on key issues, such as welfare reform, education, campaign expenses, and Senate voting record. They are divided into three sections: General issues, Personal and political history, and 1982 Campaign.

Subseries 7. Campaign in Progress
|
Scope and Content Notes: These files are the major and inclusive working files of the Governor Thornburgh Committee, or GTC that led the Thornburgh-Scranton re-election bid in 1982. These files contain staff memos and correspondence, organizational information, fundraising and finances information, voter groups and county files, speeches, and volunteer information. The extensive sections including endorsements and questionnaires are particularly interesting. They give us a clear picture of both the organizations and persons supporting Thornburgh-Scranton a second time, as well as a succinct summary of the candidates' responses on key issues. The endorsements and questionnaires are organized chronologically and alphabetically. All binder material has been entitled as such, referencing the original order, but has been placed in folders for preservation purposes. Also here are Ginny Thornburgh's campaign files, as she once again was a loyal and devoted campaign voice on her husband's behalf.
The sixteen sections are as follows: Staff List and Memoranda; Correspondence; Miscellaneous Campaign Files; Organization; County Files; Fundraising; Voter Groups; Endorsements; Speeches; Questionnaires and Responses; Debate Issue; Controversies and Critics; Volunteers and Phone Banks; Ginny Thornburgh's Files; Ephemera; Volunteer Printout.

|
Scope and Content Notes: These files were used and maintained by campaign staff and include data up to January 1984. At the time of the reelection campaign in 1982 national issues and economic discontent were negatively affecting state elections. Perceptions of the Governor's achievements were seriously affected, accounting for these careful polls during the reelection period and continuing for a year thereafter. At this time, too, Thornburgh's national electoral potential was being discussed and polls such as these were instructive.
