The 1952 United States Senate election in Maine was held on September 8, 1952.

Candidates

Campaign

Payne's campaign was encouraged and partly funded by billionaire Howard Hughes, who sought to end Brewster's political career over the investigation of Hughes's Trans World Airlines for war profiteering.[1]

Payne's victory may also have been aided by Brewster's connections to McCarthyism.
