Willis Robertson Democratic Party (United States) William B. Spong Jr. Democratic Party (United States) The 1966 United States Senate election in Virginia was held on November 8, 1966. Democratic incumbent A. Willis Robertson ran for re-election to a fourth term in office but was defeated in the Democratic primary by state senator William B. Spong Jr. Spong defeated Republican James Ould and Conservative F. Lee Hawthorne in the general election. This was the last time a Democrat won the Class II Senate seat from Virginia until 2008, and along with the special election for Virginia's other seat held on the same day, the last time the Democratic Party won either seat until 1988. Democratic primary Candidates A. Willis Robertson, incumbent Senator since 1946 William Spong Jr., state senator from Portsmouth Campaign Robertson had long been one of the most conservative members of the Democratic Party and had opposed most civil rights legislation. To secure his defeat, President Lyndon B. Johnson personally recruited Spong, a much more liberal member of the party, to challenge Robertson in the Democratic primary.Pat Robertson's Father: A Long-Time Segregationist Senator from Virginia Statesmen and Mischief Makers: Officeholders and Their Contributions to History from Kennedy to Reagan Scott Crass 9781503587632 2015 720-723 The decaying Byrd machine was unsure about supporting the aging Robertson, with some members favoring younger U.S. representative Thomas N.

Spong relied on support from Black voters who were newly enfranchised by the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the declining power of such Byrd Democrats as Sidney Kellam of Virginia Beach.The Blacks: Overcoming in a New Way 52-53 The Ethnic Factor: How America's Minorities Decide Elections Levy Mark R Kramer Michael S. 1973 New York City Simon and SchusterParr The 1969 Democratic Party Gubernatorial Primary August 1982 47 Master of Arts He was also helped by Robertson's age and overconfidence amongst his supporters, which may explain why Harry F.
