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.
