Notes |
Eben C. Henson ran for the office of Superintendant of Public Education in 1991 but lost in the Democratic primary to John Stephenson. Stephenson would go on to win the general election against Republican Donna Shedd. This object was donated on December 1, 1992 by Drexell R. Davis. Davis, a self-described "Yellow Dog" Democrat, held several elected positions in the Kentucky state government. His thirty-three years of public service prompted his interest in collecting political memorabilia. |
