P. Hunt Democratic Party (United States) George W. P. Hunt Democratic Party (United States) The 1926 Arizona gubernatorial election took place on November 2, 1926. Despite being a Democratic year generally, Hunt barely managed to be re-elected against his Republican opponent Elias Clark. Hunt had been governor for around 11 out of the State of Arizona's 14 years, coupled with his age and with issues regarding the Colorado River Compact, he was running out of steam. Despite that Hunt narrowly prevailed and won. Governor W. P. Hunt was sworn in for a sixth term as governor on January 3, 1927.Goff 1973 177 Democratic primary Candidates George W. P.
