J. JAMES “JIM” EXON
The long-time Nebraska Governor and United States Senator signed this letter from the
Governor's office
Typed Letter Signed: "Jim Exon" in blue ink. 8½x11. One page. State of Nebraska letterhead
from the office of the Governor. Dated October 7, 1972. In Part: “Your hobby sounds
fascinating, and I do hope the October show will be a / successful one. / I am enclosing a
Picture at your request. / Best wishes.” J. James “Jim” Exon (1921-2005) never lost an
election during his many campaigns. Before he ever ran for office, Exon started his own
business, Exon Office Supplies, in 1953. He worked as the company's president until 1971.
Incredibly, the first office he ever ran for was Governor of Nebraska, a position he held
from 1971-1979. In 1978, he rode his popularity as Governor to the United States
Senate, where he served as Senator for three terms from 1979-1997. As a Senator, he
focused on fiscal and military defense policy, with one notable exception being the
Communications Decency Act (1996), an early attempt to censor internet content that was
eventually overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court. The Democrat's moderate stances and
fiscal conservatism are his legacy; these stances enabled him to hold onto his elected
position campaign after campaign in a traditionally Republican state. Normal mailing
creases. Three hole punch full circles on left edge. Otherwise, fine condition.
