She attended the Democratic National Convention at Chicago in 1968 as a delegate. The majority of the convention papers is from the Rules and Order of Convention Committee, where she represented North Dakota's opposition to Unit Rule voting and support of withdrawal from Vietnam. Of particular interest is a copy of a letter to her sister, Marlene, about the convention. The newspaper clippings file contains staff writer clippings from the Fargo Forum coverage of the convention and the conflict between war protestors and Chicago police. Other subjects in the files include the Antiballistic Missile System (ABM), candidates Eugene McCarthy and George McGovern, the North Dakota Democratic Party, and women's issues of the 1980s.
