State Files
Arranged alphabetically by state, this series includes two types of files: campaign and general. Although this is a distinction made by the Romney staff, similar materials appear in both categories. In sum, though, the campaign file contains more analyses and background research on the various states, while the general files consist mainly of citizen correspondence on the issues of the day and politics. The bulk of both sets of files is correspondence, and the responses to incoming letters are signed by Romney and RA staff members. The fact that some of the letters are signed by Leonard Hall and other members of the Romney-for-President staff indicate that perhaps some of the Washington files were folded into the Lansing office files after the collapse of the Romney candidacy. The great part of these files are, however, from Romney Associates. In addition to files for the individual states, there are also files for the U.S. territories and for U.S. servicemen serving abroad.
