The 1974 United States Senate election in Idaho took place on Tuesday, November 5. Democratic incumbent Frank Church was re-elected to a fourth term in office, defeating Republican Bob Smith.[1]
Church announced his presidential campaign in March 1976,[2][3] off the strength of his victory as well as his high-profile chairmanship of the select Church Commission investigating American intelligence activity.
As of 2024[update], this was the last time the Democrats won a U.S. Senate election in Idaho.[4]
