A propos de cet article

Campaign materials for the U.S. Presidential run of John George Schmitz (1930-2001), the ultra right-wing California Congressman whose career ended when it was revealed he had an extra-marital affair and fathered two children with one of his former college students. Schmitz also held the dubious distinction of being the father of teacher Mary Kay Letourneau (1962-2020), convicted in 1997 of child sexual abuse for having an affair with her sixth-grade student, whom she later married. Schmitz was notable for his extreme right-wing sympathies and for his slurs against African Americans, Asian Americans, Latinos, women, Jewish people, and the LGBTQ+ plus community. He was a leader of the John Birch Society, which ultimately expelled him for extremist rhetoric. In 1972 he was the candidate for President of the United States of the American Independent Party, later known as the American Party. His political career began in 1964 when he was elected as a Republican to the California State Senate; he was reelected in 1966. He was then elected to the United States Congress in 1970, representing Newport Beach's 35th District for a single term. After losing his congressional reelection bid in the June 1972 primary, Schmitz was nominated to run for President by the American Independent Party. Although unsuccessful, he and running mate Tom Anderson received more than one million votes. This collection includes six broadsides promoting Schmitz's 1972 presidential campaign. Five are 8 ½" x 14" and one is 10" x 14". One poster complains of the lack of news coverage of his candidacy: "What is the news media afraid of? Why don't they want to hear what he has to say?" In another Schmitz compared himself to George Wallace and bashed his opponent Richard Nixon's policies: "Your vote for Nixon has brought you busing, 25% increase in the national debt, 23% increase in major crimes, continued war in Viet Nam, decline in military morale and preparedness." After losing, Schmitz returned to the Republican Party and ran unsuccessfully for Congress in 1976. He served again in the California State Senate from 1978 to 1982, but lost a reelection bid after admitting to an affair and fathering two children, whom he never helped raise or support.…
