    Selling a Bill Scranton 1960s Pennsylvania Governor campaign pin.
    Scranton won election to the US House of Representatives in 1960 and the Republican nomination in Pennsylvania's 1962 gubernatorial election defeating Democrat Richardson Dilworth in the general election. As governor, Scranton presided over sweeping reforms to Pennsylvania's education system, including the creation of the state's community college system. Scranton entered the race for the 1964 Republican Presidential nomination after the collapse of Nelson Rockefeller's candidacy, but Barry Goldwater won the nomination.
