Description

A rack card from US Congressman Les AuCoin's 1976 re-election campaign for Oregon's 1st District. The rack card features a photograph of Congressman AuCoin, and gives a description of his background and his accomplishments in Congress, describing his sponsoring of "laws to halt 'tight money' and high interest rates, to stimulate housing and create jobs....bills to put all government spending on a 'show-results-or-else' base; voted to halt foreign aid to countries which refuse to pay debts to America....[and] voted to close $3 billion in tax loopholes." The rack card also describes how AuCoin had "a 100% voting record on Common Cause and League of Women Voter issues."
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).
