"Our next Congressman had better have some answers. Les AuCoin does." 1974 campaign booklet

A booklet from US Congressman Les AuCoin's first campaign for Oregon's 1st District in 1974. The booklet features photographs of AuCoin, descriptions of his background as an Oregon state representative, and a list of what he hoped to accomplish as a US congressman. Pat McCormick, Chief of Staff for AuCoin when he was Oregon House Majority Leader (1973-1974), had noted in private communications that this booklet is "an example of a tabloid-size mini newspaper with large photos and major messages in headlines, one to a page. We 'borrowed' that format from Joe Biden who'd used in his first (1972) campaign for the Senate."

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).
