Title: "Judge Me on the Values" 1992 Senate campaign ad
Description: A video of a Les AuCoin campaign ad for the 1992 Senate election in Oregon. In the video, AuCoin states: "Whatever else you've heard in this campaign, there are some fundamental values at stake. For me, they come down to what sort of country we want to be. I believe in a country where the Supreme Court defends, not attacks, a woman's right to choose. Where the gun lobby is beaten, and illegal handguns are kept off our streets, and where a growing economy means family wage jobs for working Americans. On Tuesday, let's look beyond the name calling. Judge me on the values you and I have always shared." In 1992, US Congressman Les AuCoin campaigned for Bob Packwood's US Senate seat, ultimately losing to Packwood. This ad was produced following a swarm of attack ads against the AuCoin campaign.; 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).
