JOHN M. ASHBROOK
(1928-1982)
Republican John M. Ashbrook represented Ohio in Congress from 1961 until his death in 1982. In 1972, Ashbrook ran against incumbent President Richard Nixon in some state primaries as an alternative conservative candidate. His slogan "No Left Turns" was illustrated by a mock traffic symbol of a left-turn arrow with a superimposed "No" symbol. It was meant to symbolize the frustration of some conservatives with Nixon, whom they saw as having abandoned conservative principles and "turned left" on issues such as budget deficits, affirmative action, the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency, wage and price controls, the gold standard, and most of all, improving relations with the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China with his policy of détente. Ashbrook withdrew from the race after the California primary and reluctantly supported Nixon. His campaign, although of minimal immediate impact, is remembered fondly by conservatives who admire Ashbrook for having stood for their principles. When President Nixon became mired in the Watergate scandal, Ashbrook became the first House Republican to call for the President's resignation. In this October 8, 1974 letter, he talks about President Ford's pardon of Richard Nixon exactly one month earlier on Sept 8, 1974 He is "deeply distressed." 53-year-old Congresman John M. Ashbrook died on April 24, 1982, after announcing his intention to seek the Republican nomination to challenge incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Howard Metzenbaum.
