Janet Merritt Campaign Volunteers

Share Feedback

Dubbed "Merritt’s Merry Maids," this group of female volunteers was led by Merritt’s youngest daughter, Jane. They wore sashes handmade by the candidate herself and went door to door handing out cards and asking people to vote for Janet Merritt in 1964. Janet Merritt won that election and served in the Georgia House of Representatives for four terms.
