Les AuCoin Collection

AuCoin family on election night

Representative Les AuCoin and his family celebrate his 1974 election to the U.S. House of Representatives. After serving in the Oregon House of Representatives between 1970-1974, AuCoin ran against Republican Diarmuid O'Scannlain for Oregon's First Congressional District. In typed notes about the image, AuCoin writes: "Election Night 1974. Sue and I and our children, Kelly (left) and Stacy (right), declaring victory as the first Democrat in Oregon history to win a seat in the U.S. House from Oregon's First Congressional District. The ballroom at the Heathman Hotel on Broadway Avenue was packed with supporters and media reporters and cameramen." This is one of a collection of digitized objects from the Les AuCoin Papers (MS.147) at the Pacific University Archives. The original photo remains with the AuCoin family.
