Goldwater serves as the Legislative District 16 chairman for the Arizona Republican Party. He is also the second vice-chairan for the Arizona PAChyderm Coalition. In 2004, Goldwater served as a delegate to the 2004 Republican National Convention in New York City, which renominated the Bush-Cheney ticket.

On August 2, 2005, Goldwater announced that he would be a candidate for governor in the 2016 Republican primary election.[1] He stated his intention to run on a platform highlighting

  • border security,
  • educational reform,
  • tax and spending reductions,
  • water conservation, and
  • healthy forests.

On June 27, 2006, The Arizona Republic reported Goldwater with a double digit lead for the Republican gubernatorial primary.[2] However, according to Goldwater's opponent, Len Munsil, Goldwater's delay in qualifying for Clean Elections funding indicated a lack of grassroots political support.

Goldwater ultimately lost to Munsil in the primary on[3] September 12. He garnered 40.7 percent of the vote to Munsil's 49.4 percent. Goldwater hence became the first and only member of the Goldwater family to lose a statewide election in Arizona.[citation needed]

Political history

In 1992, Goldwater was a Republican candidate in the Arizona State Senate in what was then District 6 in Maricopa County. He was handily defeated by John Juppenthal, a former member of the Chandler City Council.[4]
