Button, Campaign
notes: label: Description
content: This button promoted the campaign of Kirsten Gillibrand (Democrat) for the US Senate from New York. A member of the US House of Representatives, Gillibrand was appointed in 2009 to fill the Senate seat left empty when Hillary Clinton resigned to become Secretary of State in the Obama administration. In 2010, the campaign during which this button was distributed, a special election was held in New York to elect someone to the remainder of Clinton's original term. Gillibrand won this election and in 2012 was elected to her first full term. In 2019, Gillibrand was a candidate for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, suspending her campaign in August of that year.
