BiographyBarry Goldwater (1909-1998) was the Republican nominee in the 1964 United States presidential election, running against incumbent President, Lyndon B. Johnson. A senator from Arizona, Goldwater was known for his strong conservative views, advocating for limited government, lower taxes, and a more aggressive foreign policy, particularly regarding the Cold War.
