Donnie Darko features the 1988 election between George H.W. Bush and Michael Dukakis.
Michael Dukakis gave LC the Massachusetts' Patriot Award.

https://www.lauriecabot.com/about
> In the mid nineteen seventies, Governor Michael S. Dukakis of Massachusetts, bestowed upon Laurie Cabot the state's Patriot Award. 

> This historical award is issued by the Governor to honor citizens of the state for public service which leads to the betterment, enrichment and welfare of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.


The Patriot Award certifies her as the official witch of Salem.

> The proclamation is signed by the Governor and the Treasurer of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and it reads:

> "I proclaim Laurie Cabot the Official Witch of Salem for her work with children with special needs."


It's kind of a big deal (for witches who are into civics).

> Laurie's first official duty as a state Patriot residing in Salem, was to greet a delegation of artists who were visiting the city from China. The artists had been invited to the United States to display their art at the Boston Museum of Science, and were the first such group of artists to be invited to America after relations with China had been established by President Nixon.


LC sounds like Elsie, a diminutive of Elspeth, the Scottish form of Elizabeth.
LC was born as Mercedes Elizabeth Kiersey in 1933.
