In spite of the information shown by the Library of Congress, the image appears to have been one used for Mink's 1972 presidential run. Lori Ferber Presidential Collectibles has the full poster, noting that it was produced by the Patsy Mink for President Committee. Further confirmation is found in the Longview Daily News 13 March 1972, p. 12 which carries a copy of the poster. A check of copyright.gov confirms that only 5 items related to Patsy Mink have been renewed (I searched Patsy Mink and Patsy Takemoto Mink as a title, keyword, and name): the film PA0001633633/2009-04-28 Patsy Mink: Ahead of the Majority; a photograph by Ricardo A. Finney, VAu001278462/2017-06-16 USS Reagan Escorted Into Pearl Harbor By ASD Patsy Mink; an oil painting by Setsuko Aihara, VAu000651384/2005-01-26 Portrait of the late congresswoman Patsy Mink; a sculpture by Helen Young (dba Holly Young) VAu001361793/2019-02-26 Patsy T. Mink Monument; and a book, by Sue Davidson TX0005485327/2001-12-19, A Heart in Politics: Jeannette Rankin and Patsy T. Mink. None relate to this image nor the Patsy Mink for President Committee. A review of the Catalog of Copyright Entries. Third Series: Jan-June 1972 and Catalog of Copyright Entries. Third Series: July-Dec 1972 confirms no images pertaining to Patsy Mink were copyrighted.
