Review of the election

For related races, see 1928 United States gubernatorial elections.

The 1928 Arizona gubernatorial election took place on November 6, 1928. Despite a fairly poor economy,[1] a 15-point loss by Al Smith for the Arizona electoral votes, and having served for nearly 6 full terms, Hunt only narrowly lost the general election. Other state Democrats like Senator Ashurst and Representative Douglas both won re-election.[2] John C. Phillips became the second Republican to serve as Arizona Governor, and the first to beat Hunt in a general election.
