The 1964 United States Senate elections were held on November 3. The 33 seats of Class 1 were contested in regular elections. Special elections were also held to fill vacancies. They coincided with the election of President Lyndon B. Johnson by an overwhelming majority, to a full term. His Democratic Party picked up a net two seats from the Republicans. As of 2023, this was the last time either party has had a two-thirds majority in the Senate, which allowed the Senate Democrats to override a veto, propose constitutional amendments, or convict and expel certain officials without any votes from Senate Republicans. However, internal divisions would have prevented the Democrats from having done so. The Senate election cycle coincided with Democratic gains in the House in the same year.
Charles Hiram Randall was an American newspaper publisher and politician in Los Angeles, California. He represented the city in the California State Assembly from 1911 to 1913 and the U.S. House of Representatives from 1915 to 1921. He was the only Prohibition Party candidate ever elected to Congress. He also served on the Los Angeles City Council from 1925 until 1933 and as President of the City Council for his final term from 1931 to 1933.
