Legislative papers of James D. Swan, a conservative Republican politician and farmer from Elkhorn, Wisconsin, who served in the State Senate from 1967 through 1974. Swan was well known for his fiscal conservatism; the collection includes files from his term as vice-chairman of the Joint Committee on Finance in 1973. His views are also well documented in files on the University of Wisconsin and anti-war disruptions on campus, the Equal Rights Amendment, welfare, and taxation. Other topics with extensive coverage include the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, the Committee to Visit State Properties, and the State Building Commission. There are also files on Republican politics, on Swan's 1970 and 1974 reelection campaigns, and some personal materials.
