The 1932 United States Senate election in Washington was held on November 8, 1932. Incumbent Republican U.S. Senator Wesley Livsey Jones ran for a fifth term in office, but was defeated by former State Representative Homer Bone.
Bone defeated Jones in a landslide. The percentage margin of 27.9 points may be the largest for any incumbent major-party nominee in Senate history.The biggest loss was Jacob Javits in 1980 in NY, who got only 11%, but that was only on the Liberal Party line in a 3-way race after losing GOP primary to Al D'Amato. Biggest 'normal' loss, afaik, was WA-Sen in 1932, when Homer Bone boned pro-Prohibition Wesley Jones by 29 pts. https://twitter.com/DavidLJarman/status/1257840003998048256 Jarman David 2020-05-05 @DavidLJarman en 23 May 2022 Jones died on November 19, less than two weeks after the election.
