Title

"Mud" AuCoin campaign ad video recording

Description

A campaign advertisement titled "Mud" from the early 1980s (likely 1980) for one of US Congressman Les AuCoin's re-election campaigns for Oregon's 1st Congressional District. The ad shows mud being slung at a photograph of AuCoin, while a voiceover recounts negative allegations that his opponent has made against him. The voiceover rebuts the negative comments and closes with the slogan: "Les AuCoin. He stands up for Oregon."

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).
