Description
A draft of a constituent survey commissioned by Jack Brooks during the 1968 election in order to better understand the needs of voters in the 9th district. Brooks's original district, the 2nd district, was redistricted into the 9th district in 1966 after the Supreme Court ruled in Wesbery v. Sanders that Congressional districts had to be close to equal in population. Brooks lost 8 out of the 9 east Texas counties he originally represented in this redistricting. In the 1966 election in the 2nd district, Brooks ran unopposed and won. In the 1968 election in the new 9th district, he ran against Henry Charles Pressler, and won with 60.9% of the vote. This draft includes a name recognition question where, according to the script, the pollster pretends to 'forget' the name of Brooks in order to judge whether or not the constituent knows that Brooks is their Representative.

Notes written by Jack Brooks regarding various edits to a draft of a public opinion survey commissioned by Brooks. The survey, conducted during the 1968 election, seeks to better understand the needs of voters in the 9th congressional district. The notes critique the style of a few questions, which are considered leading, and suggest that a question about gun control be replaced with one about race relations.
