"Reagan Bush '84. Bringing America Back. Prouder. Stronger. Better." Vintage Campaign Poster, 1984

Presented is a vintage “Reagan Bush '84” campaign poster, promoting Ronald Reagan for President and George H. W. Bush for Vice President. The poster features a bold and patriotic red and blue text on a stark white background. The poster text reads, “ Reagan Bush '84” along the top, followed by “Bringing America Back. Prouder, Stronger and Better” at the bottom. Simple, concise, and urgent this slogan was used throughout the 1984 election campaign. Printed at the bottom of the poster is the official campaign authorization, “Paid for by Reagan-Bush '84” in black text.

Ronald Reagan announced his campaign for a second term on January 29, 1984, with Vice President George H. W. Bush once again serving as his running mate. Formally nominated at the Republican National Convention on August 23, 1984, Reagan campaigned on the themes of renewed prosperity, strong national defense, and steady leadership following the economic recovery of his first term. On November 6, 1984, Reagan and Bush won one of the most decisive victories in American presidential history, defeating Walter Mondale and Geraldine Ferraro by a margin of 525 electoral votes to 13, carrying every state except Minnesota and the District of Columbia.

Ronald Reagan is one of the most well-remembered presidents of the modern era. Originally a Chicago Cubs sportscaster and later actor, Reagan switched career paths to eventually become America’s 40th president, holding office from 1981 to 1989. Nicknamed “The Great Communicator” for his effective oration skills, Reagan’s presidency was defined by his foreign policy. Initiatives such as the build-up of weapons during the Cold War, the Reagan Doctrine, and the Strategic Defense Initiative would all be cited as defining characteristics of the Reagan administration.
