Abstract:

Papers of a Wisconsin attorney and assemblyman from Green Bay (1975-1978) consisting of correspondence, memoranda, reports, notes, minutes, constitutions, financial and membership reports, bill files, press releases, newsletters, constituent questionnaires, reference material, meeting files, instructional material, and biographical material. The files not only concern Gower's service in the Wisconsin Assembly, but also his involvement in Republican politics, his leadership of the Wisconsin Federation of Young Republicans, and his work as Brown County district attorney and member of the Brown County Board of Supervisors and its Airport, Personnel, and Youth Home Special Study committees. Topics which are well documented in the legislative files include the numerous Republican policy committees on which he served, the attempted closure of the Green Bay Reformatory, the gubernatorial candidacy of Lee S. Dreyfus, and regulation of commercial fishing.
