Elections in Ohio |
---|
The 1956 United States Senate election in Ohio took place on November 6, 1956. Incumbent Senator George H. Bender, who won a special election to complete the term of the late Senator Robert A. Taft, ran for re-election to a full six-year term. He was defeated by Democratic Governor Frank Lausche. As of 2024, this is the last time that an incumbent Senator from Ohio lost re-election for this seat.
