Pre-Congressional Relations

The Pre-Congressional series is composed of material collected by Daschle prior to his congressional career. He served as a volunteer on the McGovern presidential campaign in 1972 and worked for South Dakota Senator James Abourezk from 1972-1977 as a Legislative Assistant. Materials consist of campaign materials, correspondence, speeches, subject files, and various other files consistent with a senator's office. This includes material collected while Daschle worked as a volunteer for the George S. McGovern campaign and files related to his work as a legislative assistant to Senator James G. Abourezk and East River Constituent Service Director.
