Add article description

The 1964 United States Senate election in Arizona took place on November 3, 1964. Incumbent Republican U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater decided not to run for reelection to a third term, instead running for President of the United States as the Republican Party nominee against Lyndon B. Johnson.[1] Arizona Governor Paul Fannin ran unopposed in the Republican primary, and defeated Democratic nominee Roy Elson, who was a staff member for U.S. Senator Carl Hayden until Hayden's retirement in 1969, after which Goldwater held that seat from 1969 to 1987.
