Changes

After nearly three years as mayor of Seattle, Langlie at the age of forty was the state's youngest governor until 1964, when [[Moderate Republican]] [[Daniel J. Evans]] was elected to the first of three terms as governor. Langlie was defeated for re-election in 1944 by Democrat Monrad C. Wallgren but won the office back by defeating Wallgren in 1948 even though Democrat [[Harry Truman]] defeated [[Thomas E. Dewey]] in Washington State. Langlie is thus far the only Washington governor to regain that office after losing it.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304130434/http://digitalwa.statelib.wa.gov:2012/cdm4/item_viewer.php?CISOROOT=%2Fgovernors&CISOPTR=22&CISOBOX=1&REC=1|title=Arthur Bernard Langlie|publisher=Washington Rural Heritage|accessdate=August 23, 2021}}</ref>

In 1956, Langlie ran unsuccessfully against Democratic [[United States Senator]] Warren Grant Magnuson (1905-1989). At the top of the Republican ballot, the [[Dwight Eisenhower|Eisenhower]]-[[Richard Nixon|Nixon]] ticket carried Washington State., as did Nixon in 1960 and 1972, but not 1968.  Upon leaving politics, Langlie was named by owner Norton Simon as the president of the McCall Corporation, which publishes a popular women's [[magazine]].<ref>Kathleen E.
