"Joke's on us" 1992 anti-Bob Packwood campaign ad video recording

A video recording of a 1992 anti-Bob Packwood campaign ad funded by the AuCoin for Senate Committee. In 1992, US Congressman Les AuCoin campaigned for Packwood's US Senate seat, ultimately losing to Packwood. Referencing the job market and Packwood's congressional attendance and history of supporting tax breaks for the wealthy, the slogan for this ad is "if we let him get away with it, the joke's on us."

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).
