On July 17, 1980, Ronald Reagan’s path to the presidency took a huge leap forward as he stood before a celebratory crowd and accepted the Republican nomination to become the 40th president of the United States. Later, in 1989, as his presidency was coming to a close, President Reagan was gifted this Delegate Section ticket for the 1980 RNC Convention. The ticket was for seat 7 in section D5 and has a map of the arena on the back.
