New York Congresswoman Geraldine Ferraro was chosen as the Democratic nominee for vice president in 1984.

This article lists those who were potential candidates for the Democratic nomination for Vice President of the United States in the 1984 election. Former Vice President Walter Mondale won the 1984 Democratic nomination for President of the United States, and chose New York Congresswoman Geraldine Ferraro as his running mate. Ferraro was the first woman to be a part of a national ticket for a major party. Mondale chose Ferraro in hopes of energizing the base and winning the votes of women, but also because he viewed her as a solid legislator who had won the approval of Speaker Tip O'Neill.[1] John R. Reilly, an attorney and a senior adviser to Mondale, managed the search for a running mate.[2] Mondale seriously considered his major rival for the 1984 presidential nomination, Senator Gary Hart, but Mondale refused to consider a second rival, Jesse Jackson, on the grounds that the differences between their polices were too great.[3] The Mondale-Ferraro ticket ultimately lost to the Reagan-Bush ticket.
