The 1930 United States Senate election was held on November 4, 1930. Incumbent Republican Senator Henry W. Keyes ran for re-election to his third term. He was challenged in the general election by Albert W. Noone, the Democratic nominee. Noone, a manufacturer and former Executive Councilor who repeatedly sought statewide office, won the Democratic nominations for both Governor and U.S. Senate and refused to yield either, appearing on the general election ballot for both offices. ^[1] Despite the poor national environment for Republicans, Keyes was re-elected to his third and final term in the Senate in a landslide.
