Election of 1962

Prior to the 1962 election which brought Republicans to power, Utah Democrats controlled one U.S. Senate seat, both U.S. House districts, the Utah Senate (14-11), the Utah House (36-28) and controlled the majority of County Offices (146-117). [The Western Political Quarterly, Vol. 16, No. 2, A Symposium: The 1962 Elections in the West. (Jun., 1963), pp. 460.] . After the election, the balance of power sifted to Utah Republicans who controlled the State Senate (13-12), State House (33-31), both Congressional Seats, and one Senate Seat along with the majority of County Offices (133-130). Republicans also elected a Republican as Utah's Attorney General. [The Western Political Quarterly, Vol. 16, No. 2, A Symposium: The 1962 Elections in the West. (Jun., 1963), pp. 460.] . Democrat Frank Moss was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1958 and served until 1976, being defeated in the 1976 election by current Utah Senator Orrin Hatch (as of 2006) thus dividing the Utah Senate delegation between the Democratic and Republican parties.
