AAPFB The C( David Las THE COMMITTEE FOR ADA DEER September 30, 1992 Dear Friends, Remember election night in 1990 and the shock and dismay felt as the election returns came in? We could not believe that the Second Congressional District would elect Scott Klug. But, that is what happened. Now we have the chance to take back this seat and return it to the Democrats. My name is Ada Deer and I am the Democratic nominee for the Second District seat in Congress. For the Democrats to recapture this seat I will need your help — your money and your energy. There are less than five weeks left until election day. The time for your contribution is now! The stakes are high and the choice is clear, Scott Klug is a Republican who supports and votes with the Bush/Quayle administration almost two-thirds of the time.
