About the Item
Presented is an early signed photograph of George H. W. Bush, taken when he was Congressman. Bush served in the House of Representatives from 1967-1971, having been elected in 1966 and 1968 to represent Texas's 7th congressional district.In this photograph, Bush is pictured outdoors in Washington with the Capitol building in the background. The photograph is signed: "To Ronald Wade with Best Regards / George Bush." The photograph is penned on the verso by Wade: "Congressman George Bush / Texas."
In 1966, Bush ran for the United States House of Representatives in Texas's 7th congressional district, a seat in the Greater Houston area. He won the race with 57 percent of the vote, against his Democratic opponent Harris County District Attorney Frank Briscoe. He was appointed to the House Committee on Ways and Means, making Bush the first freshman to serve on the committee since 1904. He supported the Vietnam War and voted for parts of President Johnson's Great Society program, including the Civil Rights Bill of 1968 to outlaw discrimination in housing. In 1968, Bush won re-election to the House unopposed. In 1970, with President Nixon's support, Bush gave up his seat in the House to run for the Senate but lost to Lloyd Bentsen.
Texan Ron Wade first met George H. W. Bush in 1963. Ron Wade was appointed by President George H. W. Bush to his 1988 Presidential Inaugural Committee, was a Bush floor leader at the 1988 Republican National Convention, and regional director for Bush's races in 1980, 1988 and 1992. Wade was a delegate to the 1988 Republican National Convention and all state conventions since 1972.
