Clinton for Congress

Bill Clinton ran for Congress in Arkansas in 1974 – he was just 28 years old at the time. He lost that race to incumbent John Paul Hammerschmidt. Two years later he was elected Arkansas attorney general. This rare 2 1/8 inch celluloid is from Clinton’s first big election. It comes from the Norm Eavenson collection and is in excellent condition.
