Sandman (pronounced Sand Man) ran for the Republican nomination for [[Governor]] of New Jersey three times. Because New Jersey state elections are held in off years, he could run without forfeiting his seat in the U.S. House.. In 1965, he lost to state Senator Wayne Dumont, Jr. (1914-1992). In 1969, Sandman lost again, this time to U.S. Representative William Thomas Cahill (1912-1996. In the spring of 1973, he finally received his party's nomination by defeating incumbent Governor Cahill. Then he was handily defeated in the [[general election]] by the [[Democratic Party|Democrat]] Brendan Thomas Byrne (1924-2018), who served the first of two terms from 1974 to 1982.
