Governor of Arizona
Raul H. Castro was elected Arizona’s first Latino governor in 1974. He initially ran for governor as the Democratic candidate in the 1970 election, but he lost by a small margin to incumbent governor Jack Williams. In the 1974 election, Castro defeated Republican candidate Russ Williams. In 1977, almost three years into his four-year term as governor, Castro resigned so he could accept the U.S. ambassadorship to Argentina. He was appointed to the position by President Jimmy Carter.
