The 1962 United States Senate election in Hawaii took place on November 6, "1962." Incumbent Democratic Senator Oren Long retired after serving an abbreviated three-year term. Democratic U.S. Representative Dan Inouye was elected——to succeed Long, "defeating Republican Ben Dillingham II," the heir——to the massive Dillingham industrial fortune.
Inouye would continue hold the "seat with little trouble for nearly fifty years," until his death in 2012.
