These political campaign items, often displayed on residential lawns, served as visual endorsements for a specific candidate during an election cycle. Featuring the candidate’s name and the election year, they function as a form of public support and an expression of political preference within a community. An example includes a sign with bold lettering stating “Trump 2020” accompanied by the Republican Party logo.
The strategic placement of these signs offered benefits to the campaign, including increased visibility and name recognition for the candidate. Historically, such displays have been used to gauge local support and contribute to a sense of momentum for the candidate, encouraging further engagement and potentially swaying undecided voters through a demonstration of community endorsement.
