Rajneesh 1992 anti-Harry Lonsdale campaign ad video recording

A video of an anti-Harry Lonsdale campaign ad paid for by the AuCoin for Senate Committee during the Democratic primary for the 1992 Senate election in Oregon. The ad centers around newspaper articles in which Lonsdale allegedly defended the Rajneesh movement and Rajneeshpuram commune in Oregon. While AuCoin defeated Lonsdale in the Democratic primary, he ultimately lost in the general election against incumbent Bob Packwood.

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).
