Incumbent Senator Harry F. Byrd Sr. had retired the previous year for health reasons, and his son Harry F. Byrd Jr. had been appointed to replace him. The younger Byrd defeated Republican Lawrence M. Traylor and Conservative Party of Virginia candidate John W. Carter, and was able to finish the balance of his father's sixth term. Due to Byrd switching parties in 1970, this was the last time until 1988 that a Democrat was elected to this seat. Democratic primary Candidates Harry F. Byrd Jr., interim U.S. senator since 1965 and son of former senator Harry F. Byrd Armistead L. Boothe, state senator from Alexandria Campaign The primary was held on the same day as another primary for Virginia's other Senate seat. Both Byrd and longtime Senator A. Willis Robertson were opposed by more liberal "antiorganization" challengers, and although all four candidates ran separate campaigns the elections took on familiar organization versus antiorganization characteristics.Atkinson Frank B.
