Texas politicians are a lively, sometimes controversial, always entertaining breed, and the ways they have chosen to put themselves and their messages before the public are equally as interesting. Anything and everything that can be printed with a candidate's name, image, and slogan—from buttons and bumper stickers to chewing gum, pocket knives, and plastic pickles—is likely to turn up in a Texas political campaign. Though many consider these items ephemeral, collectors value political memorabilia as a fascinating "sound bite" record of the candidates and issues that engaged the voting public over decades. Texas Political Memorabilia presents just such a pictorial history of Texas politics, the first ever compiled. Drawn from the vast personal collection of Chuck Bailey and augmented with items from other private and public collections, this book presents the most exceptional, most memorable, and most informative examples of Texas political memorabilia. The featured items cover everything from the presidential campaigns of Lyndon Johnson and both George Bushes, to U.S. House and Senate elections, to statewide races for governor and the Texas House and Senate, to county and city elections. All the major figures of twentieth-century Texas politics—as well as Sam Houston and Davy Crockett—are represented in the book. To set the images in context, Chuck Bailey and Bill Crawford provide background on the candidates, races, and issues that inspired many of the pieces pictured in the book. From LBJ's Stetson-shaped ashtrays to Jake Pickle's plastic squeaker pickles to George W. Bush's "W" buttons, Texas Political Memorabilia is a treasure trove of the nuts and bolts and buttons of Texas politics.

The second half of the twentieth century may well be titled by history "The Bush Era" for indeed no family has been more at the forefront of that time period than two United States Presidents, a Florida Governor and Connecticut United States Senator all with the last name Bush and all the same family. This book illustrates the wide variety of objects used in political campaigns in America and in particular the Bush family campaigns. For a collector it is a dream to see the sheer volume of items. It matters little what a person collects as there is something here for that collector whether it be dolls, thimbles, postcards, toys, bottles, or as could be expected--political campaign buttons, bumper stickers and posters. The author of this volume started collecting Bush memorabilia at the beginning in 1964 when George H. W. Bush ran for the U. S. Senate in Texas the first time and when the author was only 13 and has never stopped collecting. This book is the result. This is an updated version of the book with many additions as well as items for Jeb Bush's 2016 campaign and that of George P. Bush, grandson of President George W. Bush who was elected Land Commissioner in Texas in 2014.
