Title

Speech on behalf of Congressman AuCoin at a candidates fair in Oregon

Description

A speech by Paul Romain on behalf of US Congressman Les AuCoin at a candidates fair with employees of PGE, Intel, Floating Points, and General Telephone in Oregon on October 12, 1982. In his speech, Romain provided a track record of Congressman AuCoin's career and discussed the critical issues prioritized by his campaign for re-election in Oregon's 1st Congressional District, including the economy, unemployment, and the environment. Romain especially asserted that AuCoin had fought against the Reaganomics that had created large deficits in the federal budgets, weakened the economy, and bankrupted businesses and Americans.
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).
