"Facts on Oregonian Work" statement from first primary election for US House of Representatives
Description
A statement by Oregon House Majority Leader Les AuCoin regarding his previous affiliation and employment with The Oregonian newspaper. AuCoin states that he had worked during for The Oregonian for a short time in 1960 during a strike, "having no comprehension of the real meaning of a strike," before being employed again by the newspaper after the strike had ended in November 1965. A handwritten note on the front page, which was presumbly written years later, states: "During first primary, Demo [sic] opponents used my Oregonian employment against me."
This is one of a collection of digitized objects from the Les AuCoin Papers (MS.147) at the Pacific University Archives. AuCoin served in the Oregon House of Representatives (1971-1975) and in the United States House of Representatives from Oregon's 1st District (1975-1993).
