This button is for Richard J. Daley’s 1967 campaign to stay on as Mayor of Chicago. 1967 marked Daley’s fourth election, having first been elected to the position in 1955. Daley, who was campaigning against Republican John L. Waner, won the 1967 election with 73% of the votes. Richard J. Daley is best remembered for keeping Chicago from declining as other major Midwestern cities had, which this button's upward-pointing arrow seems to indicate. Daley continued on as Mayor of Chicago until his death in 1976, having held the position for 21 years.

This button is from Richard M. Daley's 1989 election campaign to be mayor of Chicago. Daley, the son of previous Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley, was up against Eugene Sawyer, who had been appointed to the position in 1987 after the previous mayor died halfway into his term as mayor. Daley won the 1989 election and went on to hold the position until 2011. Daley's tenure as mayor was characterized by increased benefits to LGBT workers, encouraged tourism, and instituted more eco-friendly measures around the city of Chicago. When Daley stepped down from the position in 2011, he had served as Mayor of Chicago for 22 years, making him the longest-serving mayor in Chicago's history.
