Object Details

As the facsimile signature on this button demonstrates, Maryland Representative Connie Morella believed in a personal connection with her constituents. Morella was a visible presence in her district, and built her House career on issues that mattered to its residents. “Three things are certain in Montgomery County,” noted the Washington Post in 1992, “death, taxes and Connie Morella showing up for every small-town parade and public forum.”
