DescriptionThis campaign button was made to promote Bruce King's bid for the Governor of New Mexico. Bruce King (Democrat) served three non-consecutive terms as governor, which made him the longest-serving governor in New Mexico history, with twelve total years served. The button is red and yellow, with an image of a cowboy boot with the New Mexico state flag on it. Bruce King's initials are displayed just to the right of the boot as "BK."
