The 1932 United States Senate election in Washington was held on November 8, 1932. Incumbent Republican U.S. Senator Wesley Livsey Jones ran for a fifth term in office, but was defeated by former State Representative Homer Bone.

Bone defeated Jones in a landslide. The percentage margin of 27.9 points may be the largest for any incumbent major-party nominee in Senate history.[1] Jones died on November 19, less than two weeks after the election.

  1. ^ Though Bone became senator-elect after the election, Jones's death left a vacancy which was filled by Elijah Sherman Grammer until Bone's term began in March.

"The biggest loss was Jacob Javits in 1980 in NY, who got only 11%, but that was only on the Liberal Party line in a 3-way race after losing GOP primary to Al D'Amato. Biggest 'normal' loss, afaik, was WA-Sen in 1932, when Homer Bone boned pro-Prohibition Wesley Jones by 29 pts". @DavidLJarman. Retrieved May 23, 2022.
