On the middle right side "96" is printed in light blue. There is a small logo at the bottom edge.Context
Democratic campaign button for presidential candidate Bill Clinton, Vermont gubernatorial candidate Howard Dean and Vermont lieutenant governor candidate Doug Racine. Clinton was running for re-election and so was Dean. This was Racine's second try for lieutenant governor, having lost to Republican Barbara Snelling in 1994. He would go on to win re-election three more times, as would Dean, both leaving these offices in 2003.Acquisition
