Kent Signs made this button for me in a day!  I learned I would be announced as a candidate at the Lincoln Day Dinner, so I decided right then and there to "go for it!"  Later, I changed to the more traditional red, white a blue.  No one understood the message of the state bug and the childhood rhyme, "Lady bug, lady bug, fly away home, your house is on fire and your children are gone" as being appropriate for the Recorder of Deeds...oh well!
