Forty years ago, the nation’s political spotlight was on the 1976 presidential race, with vice presidential candidate Sen. Bob Dole and his wife, Federal Trade Commissioner Elizabeth Dole
taking center stage.

Presidential historian and Dole Archives Fellow Dr. John Robert Greene discusses the story of the Doles on the campaign
trail for the Ford-Dole ticket.

Dr. Greene is the Paul J. Schupf Professor of History and Humanities at Cazenovia College (Cazenovia, NY) and has written or edited seventeen books on American politics and the presidency, most
recently “The Presidency of George H.W. Bush,” published in 2015 by the University Press of Kansas.

His book, “I Like Ike: The Presidential Election of 1952,” is currently in press.

The event served as the opening of the Institute’s Fall 2016 special exhibit, “From State to Nation: Dole for Vice President, 1976,” was made possible by the Enid and Crosby Kemper Foundation.
