Abstract: Papers of Patrick Lucey, a Democratic governor of Wisconsin (1971-1977), ambassador to Mexico (1977-1979), and independent vice-presidential candidate (1980), primarily documenting his involvement in electoral politics in Wisconsin. Less complete records relate to his independent vice-presidential candidacy and his support of Edward Kennedy in 1980. Copies of oral history interview transcripts document his support of John Kennedy in 1960 and Robert Kennedy in 1968. Also included are brief personal papers, information on his work as an economic consultant, and papers from his ambassadorial years.
