The1964 United States Senate election in Arizona took place on November 3, 1964. Incumbent Republican U.S. SenatorBarry Goldwater decided not to run for reelection to a third term, instead running forPresident of the United States as the Republican Party nominee against presidentLyndon B. Johnson.[1] Arizona GovernorPaul Fannin ran unopposed in the Republican primary, and defeated Democratic nomineeRoy Elson, who was a staff member for U.S. SenatorCarl Hayden until Hayden's retirement in 1969, after which Goldwater held that seat from 1969 to 1987.
Despite a landslide loss throughout the country, and Goldwater only able to obtain50.45% of the vote in his home state of Arizona, Fannin managed to prevail in the state's Senate election.
