Only Burdick filed as a Dem-NPLer, and the endorsed Republican candidate was Earl Strinden of Grand Forks, North Dakota, president of the University of North Dakota Alumni Association. As in Burdick's previous re-election campaign, the senator's age became an issue for voters, as he was 80 years old during the campaign. However, challenger Strinden commented that he did not want to raise the age issue. Burdick and Strinden won the primary elections for their respective parties. The Burdick campaign hired high-profile Washington, D.C. campaign consultant Bob Squire of Squire Eskew Communications. To counter the potential age issue, Burdick successfully focused the message on the clout he had earned over decades in the Senate, as well as his chairmanship of Senate Agricultural Appropriations sub-committee and Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. One independent candidate, Kenneth C. Gardner, also filed before the deadline, officially calling himself a libertarian. Gardner had previously run for North Dakota's other United States Senate seat as an independent in 1974, challenging Milton Young.

Vignola was not expected by Democratic Party leaders to have a substantial chance at defeating the popular incumbent Heinz, even predicting that Vignola would become "Heinz's 58th variety,"Kennedy John J.

J. Heinz Company. Heinz, knowing this, ran a low-profile re-election campaign and was safely ahead in polling. Vignola traveled across Pennsylvania promoting an increase in domestic spending, including education and healthcare, while decreasing the defense budget to compensate. Vignola ran a positive campaign, in contrast with Cyril Wecht six years previously, although many Democratic ward leaders and committee members had given up on the campaign and had stopped campaigning for Vignola. Heinz easily defeated Vignola to win the election and another term in the Senate, carrying every Pennsylvania county except Philadelphia, Vignola's home town, and by a comfortable 1.49 million vote margin. Heinz performed well in suburban areas, as well as the central, southwestern and northeastern portions of the state. Outside of Philadelphia, Vignola's best county-wide showing was in Mercer County, where he won 36% of the vote, and his poorest county-wide performance was in Snyder County, where he won 12% of the vote. Although Heinz's landslide victory was largely expected among Democratic leaders, he won by a wide margin despite the Democrats' 551,000-voter registration advantage statewide. Heinz died in an airplane crash on April 4, 1991, in Lower Merion Township, Pennsylvania.HEINZ, Henry John, III, (1938 - 1991) http://bioguide.congress.gov/scripts/biodisplay.pl?index=H000456 Biographical Directory of the U.S. Congress July 6, 2012 Democrat Harris Wofford was appointed on May 8 to fill the vacancy caused by Heinz's death, and subsequently won a special election in November 1991.
