In 1970, Buckley ran for U.S. Senate on the Conservative Party line once again. This time, he faced Republican incumbent Charles Goodell and Democratic nominee Richard Ottinger. Goodell, who had been appointed to the Senate by Governor Nelson Rockefeller following the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy, had moved left, especially as an opponent of the Vietnam War. Buckley’s campaign slogan, plastered on billboards statewide, was: “Isn’t it time we had a Senator?” With Goodell and Ottinger splitting the liberal vote, Buckley received 39% of the vote, won the election, and entered the U.S. Senate in January 1971. According to scholar Gerald Russello, Buckley “performed well in New York City itself, at a time when the city still had a beating conservative heart in the middle-class neighborhoods of the outer boroughs.”
Buckley was the lead petitioner in a landmark Supreme Court case, Buckley v. Valeo (1976), which “shaped modern campaign-finance law”.
