In our last update on 2020 campaign items, we covered a series of candidates that had dropped out of the race over the summer of 2019. It seems that as soon as we hit publish on a post there is something worthy of an update. A few days after our last post, New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand announced she was dropping out of the race for the Democratic nomination. She decided to because of the campaign was unable to qualify for the next round of Democratic Debates. She was unable to secure higher polling numbers and the required unique donors.
This was just as her campaign, only a couple weeks before this had begun to offer buttons in her campaign store. It would be interesting to know if she would have reached the 130,000 donor threshold had she offered buttons on her website a few months ago, instead of a few weeks ago. Here is the button that was offered on her website.
There is another Gillibrand button that was offered by the campaign as part of a special $1 dollar donation. I have yet to see anyone confirmed to have gotten their button yet. The campaign has told several APIC'ers that they will honor all orders that came in prior to her announcement that she was dropping out of the race.
This Gillibrand button was part of a set produced by the Texas Democratic Party that came out last fall. They have since taken these pins off their website.
There was also a Gillibrand button in the Multnomah County Celsi dinner set. We have covered this set in several posts. We know there was a Minnesota State Fair button for the Gillibrand campaign as well. Other than what has been mentioned here, I have not seen many Gillibrand buttons for 2020.
Just for good measure, here are some items from her Senate campaigns.
If you found some interesting Gillibrand items please feel free to share them with us!
