![["Congressman Richard Nixon is running for United States Senator and is asking voters to compare his voting record with that of his opponent, Mrs. Douglas. Nixon has consistently voted for national defense, internal security, cutting government spending, supporting veterans, labor-management relations, small businesses, equal rights for women, and state ownership of tidelands. He is portrayed as a champion of free enterprise and constitutional government, while Douglas is described as an extreme left-winger who wants more federal controls and has fought against exposing and controlling communists in the country."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas%20Collection/CAC_CC_014_5_172_2_0000-1950%20Campaign%20Helen%20Douglas-Richard%20Nixon%20Voting%20Record/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_014_5_172_2_0019_thumbnail.jpg "Support Congressman Nixon for United States Senator: A Comparison of Records with Congresswoman Douglas")
![["Congressman Nixon is described as courageous and fearless, particularly for his role in exposing Alger Hiss. A comparison of Nixon and Congresswoman Douglas's records shows differences in their stances on national defense, aid to foreign countries, internal security and communism, taxes and government spending, veterans' issues, socialistic planning, small business support, labor-management relations, tidelands ownership, the Central Valley Project, housing policies, and endorsements from communist newspapers. The People's Daily World labeled Nixon as \"the man to beat\" in the Senate race, indicating support for his candidacy."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas%20Collection/CAC_CC_014_5_172_2_0000-1950%20Campaign%20Helen%20Douglas-Richard%20Nixon%20Voting%20Record/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_014_5_172_2_0018_thumbnail.jpg "Legislative Actions for Economic Growth: A Look at Prosperity and Policy Decisions")
