Button, Franklin D. Roosevelt
notes: label: Description
content: Franklin D. Roosevelt had been in Democratic politics for more than twenty years before he first ran for president in 1932. He served in the New York State Senate from 1911 to 1913 and as Assistant Secretary of the Navy under President Woodrow Wilson from 1913 to 1920. He was the vice-presidential running mate of James Cox, governor of Ohio, on the Democratic ticket that lost to Republican Warren G. Harding in 1920. Although Roosevelt was stricken with polio the following year, he gradually re-entered politics and was elected governor of New York in 1928. FDR went on to an unmatched career as president, winning four times—in 1932, 1936, 1940, and 1944.
