Voters will decide on offices Nov. 2
By David Steinmetz
Of th« Emerald
Oregonians will have the op
portunity Nov. 2 to elect to office
a number of the bevy of govern
ment officials who have assured
them that they have the answers
to Oregon's various problems —
especially the state s depressed
economy.
• Ross Anthony, University
economics assistant professor,
is challenging incumbent
Democrat Jim Weaver for the
4th Congressional District's
seat.
Weaver stresses his ability to
act on his convictions, as shown
by his opposition to the North
west Power Bill
He suggests cuts in oil and
nuclear subsidies rather than in
education
Anthony has served on a
number of health related com
mittees and councils, including
the Western Oregon Health
Systems Agency, and his
academic preparation at the
University of Pennsylvania in
cluded health economics
His training as an economist
can help correct the economy
and get people back to work, he
claims
• Republican Gov. Vic Atiyeh
hopes to be elected to a second
term over Sen Ted Kulongoski,
who was the victor in a field of
seven Democratic primary can
didates
Although Oregon is a
Democratic state in terms of
numbers of registered voters, it
has a Republican governor in
Atiyeh
Atiyeh served in the Oregon
legislature for 20 years before
m
Vic Atiyeh Ted Kulongoski
Gov. Vic Atiyeh and Ted Kulongoski
square off in the governor’s race
his election to governor in 1978.
He offers his formation of the
Employment Recovery Council
and Department of Economic
Development as evidence of his
commitment to jobs
Kulongoski, an attorney, was
elected to terms in the state
House of Representatives
(1974, 1976) and Senate (1978,
1980).
Small businesses are the key
to Oregon's economic recovery,
ne contends
For example, Kulongoski
proposes a Small Business In
stitute in the higher education
system which would aid small
businesses and Oregon firms
Two more debates between
the two gubernatorial can
didates are planned — today in
Eugene and Oct. 4 in Medford.
• Current State Labor Commis
sioner Mary Roberts is chal
lenged by Republican Mike
Wooton.
The offi* e takes on new
meaning as the state's unem
ployment hits new lows It in
volves regulating employment
practices, wages, working con
ditions and apprenticeship pro
grams.
Wooton, 46, is the business
representative and financial
secretary for a Roseburg
carpenter's local He has was
appointed to the State Advisory
Council for Career and Voca
tional Education, and is on the
Douglas County Planning Com
mission
Roberts has held the office of
commissioner since 1979, and
served in the state House and
Senate
• A newspaper publisher and
warehouseman are vying for the
newly-formed 14th District state
Senate seat.
Republican Joe Davis hopes
to bring his experience of
covering and reporting on var
ious governing bodies and
serving on the Sitverton School
Board to the Senate
Steve Starkovich, a
Democrat, has served on var
ious community and Democra
tic Party committees He works
with United Grocers, Inc., and
was a research assistant at the
University of Washington
Both think they are equipped
to serve the ’ small-town, rural
oriented District 14.'*
- A couple of surprises have
marked the 20th District race for
state senator
Initially, incumbent George
Wingard, R-Eugene, planned
minimal campaigning against
journalist Gerry Mackie.
Then Wingard appeared to be
unopposed as Mackie dropped
out. However, Rep. Margie
Hendricksen gave up her re
election bid to the House to
oppose Wingard for the Senate
seat in what promises to be an
interesting race
Wingard’s ability to maintain
some party independence, as
shown by his 80 percent voting
record rating from the Lane
County Democratic party, will
be weighed against Hendrick
son's tax plan, which she
promises will bring economic,
recovery for Oregon
Wingard has operated a small
