Gary Hart Papers 1970-1987

http://rmoa.unm.edu/docviewer.php?docId=cou2hart3.xml

Gary Hart (b.1937), a graduate of Yale University's schools of Divinity and Law, first gained national visibility while directing George McGovern's 1972 presidential campaign. Colorado voters elected Hart to the U.S. Senate in 1974 and narrowly reelected him in 1980. He soon began a "dark horse" try for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination, placing second to Walter Mondale in 1984. Hart retired from the Senate in 1986 to unsuccessfully pursue the 1988 nomination, disbanding the campaign organization by mid-1987. The collection includes Senate papers and records from Hart's Washington and Colorado offices, plus diverse materials generated for the Senator's Colorado and national election efforts.
