Democrat Neil Goldschmidt did some last-minute campaigning at the Fifth Street Public Market
on Tuesday morning. He went on to defeat Republican Norma Paulus in the race for governor.
Goldschmidt

(Goldschmidt led Paulus late
Tuesday evening in the hard
fought Oregon governor's race
with 52 percent of the vote to
Paulus' 48 percent.
Election experts speculated
that Paulus may wait out the
night in anticipation of closing
the margin with returns from
Oregon’s outlying and rural
counties. It was also speculated
that Paulus may be hoping to
close the gap with returns from
the strong absentee ballot cam
paign waged by Republicans.
Appearing before a group of
supporters at his campaign
headquarters in Portland.
Goldschmidt stopped short of
declaring victory, although he
said the "Oregon Comeback.”
his plan for economic revival,
had begun.
(Goldschmidt took 55 percent
of the vote in Lane County to
Paulus' 41 percent. A surprise
result came in the returns from
Paulus' home of Marion County
where Goldschmidt was leading
Paulus by 7 percentage points
late in the evening.
At the Eugene Hilton victory
party of Goldschmidt sup
porters, his Lane County cam
paign co-chairwoman Dottie
Chase said local Goldschmidt
supporters were ecstatic about
the evening's returns.
“I think it is an indication
that the people of Oregon want
a change," Chase said. She said
the Goldschmidt victory coupl
ed with the continuation of
Democratic control in the state
House of Representatives would
mean a shorter and smoother
legislative session in the com
ing year.
In his jubilant late-night vic
tory celebration at the Eugene
Hilton, DeFazio credited his
cheering supporters for
defeating the powerful cam
paign of Long.
"The Republican national
committee came in with lots of
money," DeFazio said of his
campaign against Long. "But
Oregonians didn't buy it.
“This proves you can still
win in an issues-oriented. grass
roots campaign." DeFazio said.
With most of the 4th District
precincts counted. DeFazio was
leading Long 57 percent to 43
percent.
Ixing held off from conceding
the race. But he noted. It s
most difficult for a Republican
to go into the 4th District race
with a 14 point disadvantage
and not live in Lane County.
DeFazio was enthusiastic
about the news that Democrats
had taken control of the U.S.
Senate.
"Reagan's policies were
dramatically repudiated." he
said.
In other Oregon races for the
U.S. House of Representatives,
incumbent Democrat Les Au
Coin defeated Republican Tony
Meeker in District 1. with BO
percent of the vote. Republican
Bob Smith defended a challenge
by Democrat Larry Tuttle in
District 2. with 61 percent of the
vote.
In District 3, incumbent
Democrat Ron Wyden triumph
ed over Republican Tom Phelan
with 86 percent of the vote. And
incumbent Republican Denny
Smith defeated Democrat Bar
bara Ross in District 5, with 59
percent of the vote.
Packwood said he would still
be able to help Oregon even
though the Democrats took con
trol of the Senate on Tuesday.
Packwood defeated Bauman
62 percent to 38 percent.
"I can’t help but be grateful at
the size of the margin the
Oregon electorate has given
me,” Packwood said.
Voting on one of the most
complex and emotional ballots
in Oregon history, the majority
of Oregonians chose to support
the status quo.
Ballot Measure 5, the Oregon
Marijuana Initiative, which ask
ed for legalization of marijuana
for personal use by adults,
received a resounding no from
the state’s voters. The OMI was
losing by a 3 to 1 margin with
about 60 percent of the state's
precincts counted Tuesday.
"We got a wonderfully large
number of votes." said Richard
Sharvy. Libertarian party can
didate for state House District
40, and a strong supporter of the
marijuana initiative. "Nobody
expected it would pass the first
time. For 30 percent of Orego
nians to vote for it, right in the
middle of the biggest wave of
drug hysteria ever, is a compli
ment to the tolerance and in
telligence of 30 percent of the
people in Oregon." Sharvy
said.
Ballot Measure 6, which call
ed for an end to most state
funded abortions, was defeated
by Oregon voters after a long,
expensive and emotional
campaign.

measures aimed at stemming
nuclear arms production and
