Moses:
The 1932 United States Senate election in New Hampshire took place on November 8, 1932. Incumbent Republican Senator George H. Moses ran for re-election to a third full term but was defeated by Democratic former governor Fred H. Brown. Although the state voted for incumbent Republicans Herbert Hoover and John G. Winant in the concurrent presidential election and gubernatorial election, respectively, Moses ran significantly behind the top of the ticket and was narrowly defeated by Brown. The result was attributed to Brown's personal popularity and Moses's age.

Background

Incumbent Senator George H. Moses was first elected in 1918 to fill the unexpired term of Jacob H. Gallinger and re-elected in 1920 and 1926. Entering 1932, he pledged to retire at the expiration of the next term and referred to this race as his "sunset campaign."

As a Senator, Moses was noted for biting remarks which had alienated the progressive wing of his own party, whom he referred to in a Senate speech as "sons of the wild jackass." He defeated two lesser candidates for the Democratic nomination in September.
