George E. Donart

George E. Donart

George E. Donart was a Democratic politician from Idaho. He was the Democratic nominee in a 1946 special election for the United States Senate seat in Idaho to finish the term of John W. Thomas, who died in November 1945.

After Thomas' death, Democratic Governor Charles C. Gossett resigned and allowed his successor Arnold Williams to appoint him to the Senate vacancy, which in turn allowed him to enter the special election race as the incumbent. Donart defeated Gossett in the Democratic primary. Donart was in turn defeated in the general election by Republican Congressman Henry Dworshak.

Prior to his Senate run Donart served in the Idaho Legislature. He was a member of the Idaho State Senate from 1933 to 1940 and from 1943 to 1946.
