Certificate of nomination 1992
Title
Certificate of nomination 1992
Description
Certificate of Nomination declaring "Les AuCoin has been nominated as Democratic candidate for United States Senator at the Primary Election held May 19, 1992". Signed by Secretary of State Phil Keisling on June 18th, 1992. In the Democratic primary, AuCoin’s biggest opponent was Harry Lonsdale, a multi millionaire businessman who ran as an outsider to Washington politics. The primary results were close enough to trigger an automatic recount, and AuCoin was eventually certified as the winner by 330 votes. AuCoin went on to face Senator Bob Packwood in the general election, and Packwood was ultimately elected to the Senate. This is one of a collection of digitized objects from the Les AuCoin Papers (MS.147) at the Pacific University Archives.
