This is a hard to find "Coat-tail Ribbon Badge"  that was made for the 1988  Ohio Gubernatorial  Campaign  of George Voinovich and also the 1988 Presidential Campaign of 

George  Bush   and  Dan  Quayle.  

Voinovich was considered shy^[4] and a rather low-key politician, a description he adopted himself. Once elected, he announced that he would meet immediately with Ohio Governor James Rhodes to solicit the state government's help in clearing up the city's debts. He negotiated a debt repayment schedule. In October 1980, eight local banks, with the state guaranteeing the loans, lent Cleveland $36.2 million, allowing the city to emerge from default. Despite this, the city's economy continued to decline and federal funding was cut. Two weeks earlier, voters turned down another 0.5 percent income tax increase. The opposition was led by Kucinich, who had been keeping a low profile since his defeat in the 1979 election. Voinovich said he would resubmit the tax issue on the February ballot to avoid facing a deficit in 1981. This time the voters approved the tax increase.

This 2 3/4th's by 1 3/4th's inch oval cello, has a white background.  In the center is a gold outline of 

"THE STATE OF OHIO" . 

Attached to the button is a red, white and blue Ribbon.   

On the button in brown and white lettering it reads:  

"THE  BUSH - QUAYLE - VOINOVICH  TEAM

* Bush ~ Voinovich ~ Quayle *

FOR A STRONG AMERICA & PROSPEROUS OHIO

     THE COMPLETE TEAM" .   

This rare Coat-tail  Ribbon/Badge is in mint  condition.
