The files included in this section are organized as Series 9 and located in Boxes 1-76.
Political Affairs are primarily files on party politics on both the local and national level, including material on the various elections and delegate selection for the various Democratic National Conventions. Most are dated 1979 – 1989. Also included are files on prominent Texas Democrats and Leland political opponents. The Political Affairs Series complements the Public Relations Series, The Personal Series, and the Campaign Series by containing the minutia of Congressional life such as thank-you letters from congressmen for support on pending legislation, for the exchange of gifts, letters of congratulations from prominent Democratic congressmen on a Leland accomplishment.
