    Description

    4 Nixon Ogilvie Republican campaign buttons and 2 Ogilvie buttons.  Richard Ogilivie was the incumbent governor of Illinois but lost this election to Dan Walker.
    For those of you from Illinois, he got the ball rolling for state income tax (per Wikipedia):
    He successfully advocated for a state
    constitutional convention
    , increased social spending, and secured Illinois' first state
    income tax
    . The latter was particularly unpopular with the electorate, and Ogilvie lost a close election to
    Daniel Walker
    in 1972, ending his career in elective office.
