Johnson Democratic Party (US) Edwin C. Johnson Democratic Party (US) The 1942 United States Senate election in Colorado took place on November 3, 1942. Incumbent Democratic Senator Edwin C. Johnson was re-elected to second term over Republican Governor Ralph L. Carr. The major issue in this race was Carr's dual ambitions for both Senate seats. As Governor, he appointed Eugene Milliken following the death of Senator Alva B. Adams and then wanted to get elected himself over Senator Johnson. Carr's efforts resulted in Milliken winning the special election, but Carr himself was unsuccessful at getting elected. Senator Johnson won a narrow victory and remained in the Senate.
