A Democrat from Texas, he also served as a United States Representative and as the Majority Leader in the United States Senate. Johnson won his first Congressional election to the House of Representatives in 1937. He won election to the Senate in 1948, and was appointed the position of Senate Majority Whip in 1951. He became the Senate Minority Leader in 1953 and the Senate Majority Leader in 1955. As a leader in the Senate, Johnson became known for his domineering personality and the "Johnson treatment", his aggressive coercion of powerful politicians to advance legislation. Johnson ran for the Democratic nomination in the 1960 presidential election. Although unsuccessful, he accepted the invitation of then-Senator John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts to be his running mate. Johnson designed the "Great Society" legislation by expanding civil rights, public broadcasting, Medicare, Medicaid, aid to education, the arts, urban and rural development, public services, and his "War on Poverty". However his legacy also includes the escalation of America's involvement in the Vietnam War, which blemished his otherwise progressive place in political history.<br /> <br /> Inscribees, Robert M. and Helen D. Jackson were neighbors of the Johnson's to their ranch in Stonewall, Texas. Robert was editor of the Caller Times in Corpus Christi, TX. Helen was the first woman reporter on the San Angelo Standard Times, and subsequently worked for the Associated Press in Washington D.C. The Robert M. Jackson Award for Scholarship in Journalism is available from the University of Texas, Austin. "I had used the power of the Presidency proudly, and I used every ounce of it I had. I used it to establish programs that gave thousands of youngsters a head start in school, that enabled thousands of old folks to live in clean nursing homes, that brought justice to the Negro and hope to the poor that forced the nation to face the growing problems of pollution. In this exercise of power, I knew a satisfaction that only a limited number of men have ever known and that I could have had in no other way." (p 433).
