Highly desirable program for a 'Congressional Victory in '60' fundraising dinner held at the University of Notre Dame on April 9, 1960, 12 pages, signed in blue ballpoint by John F. Kennedy below an image of himself as senator. In very good to fine condition, with creasing, a central vertical fold, and three file holes along the left edge. Accompanied by an unsigned traditional oversized souvenir invitation to Kennedy's inauguration as president on January 20, 1961.
Amidst his own presidential campaign, Kennedy was a featured guest speaker at this fundraising dinner for Congressman John Brademas. While Kennedy's own efforts in the state were unsuccessful-Nixon won Indiana with relative ease-Brademas did secure reelection to his congressional seat, where he served as a representative of Indiana's 3rd district from 1959 to 1981. It is also interesting to note that the event was held at Notre Dame, a Catholic university, and at this time JFK was controversially trying to become the first Catholic president. A superb item from the 1960 campaign trail.
