Donald H. Goldwater, known as Don Goldwater (born c. 1955) is an Arizona Republican Party political activist, and the nephew of the late U.S. Senator and U.S. presidential candidate Barry M. Goldwater.
In 1992, Goldwater was a Republican candidate in the Arizona State Senate in what was then District 6 in Maricopa County. He was defeated by John Huppenthal, a former member of the Chandler City Council. [1]
Goldwater has served as the Legislative District 16 chairman for the Arizona Republican Party. He is also the second vice-chairman for the Arizona PAChyderm Coalition. In 2004, Goldwater served as a delegate to the 2004 Republican National Convention in New York City, which renominated the Bush-Cheney ticket.
On August 2, 2005, Goldwater announced that he would be a candidate for governor in the 2006 Republican primary election. [2] On June 27, 2006, The Arizona Republic reported Goldwater with a double digit lead for the Republican gubernatorial primary. [3] However, according to Goldwater's opponent, Len Munsil, Goldwater's delay in qualifying for Clean Elections funding indicated a lack of grassroots political support.
Goldwater ultimately lost to Munsil in the primary on [4] September 12. He garnered 41% of the vote to Munsil's 49%. Goldwater hence became the first and only member of the Goldwater family to lose a statewide election in Arizona.[ citation needed ]
Barry Morris Goldwater was an American politician, statesman, businessman, United States Air Force officer, and author who was a five-term Senator from Arizona and the Republican Party nominee for president of the United States in 1964. Goldwater is the politician most often credited with having sparked the resurgence of the American conservative political movement in the 1960s. Despite his loss of the 1964 presidential election in a landslide, many political pundits and historians believe he laid the foundation for the conservative revolution to follow, as the grassroots organization and conservative takeover of the Republican party began a long-term realignment in American politics which helped to bring about the "Reagan Revolution" of the 1980s. He also had a substantial impact on the libertarian movement.
The 1964 United States presidential election was the 45th quadrennial presidential election. It was held on Tuesday, November 3, 1964. Incumbent Democratic United States President Lyndon B. Johnson defeated Barry Goldwater, the Republican nominee.
