"What about us?" 1992 anti-Bob Packwood campaign ad version with Reagan video recording

A video clip that features one of several versions of a 1992 anti-Bob Packwood campaign ad funded by the AuCoin for Senate Committee. The ad criticizes Packwood's history with tax reform legislation. In 1992, US Congressman Les AuCoin campaigned for Packwood's US Senate seat, ultimately losing to Packwood. Referencing Packwood's history of supporting tax breaks for the wealthy, the slogan for this ad is "What about us?" The video recording features a playback of the ad.

This is a digitized version of an analog videorecording 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).
