George Wilson Malone (August 7, 1890 – May 19, 1961) was an American civil engineer and Republican politician.

Early life

Malone was born in Fredonia, Kansas. As a young man he moved to Reno, Nevada and worked as a civil and hydraulic engineer there while he was attending the University of Nevada, Reno.

Military service

Civilian career

Malone then returned to work in engineering. He served as the state engineer of Nevada from 1927 to 1935.

Political career

Malone entered politics in 1934 when he made his first attempt to be elected to the United States Senate from Nevada. He was defeated by the Democratic incumbent Key Pittman, receiving 33 percent of the vote. During World War II Malone worked for the Senate as an engineering consultant on war materials. Malone ran again for a seat in the United States Senate in 1944, this time against Democratic incumbent Pat McCarran. Malone was defeated again, receiving 41 percent of the vote.

Malone successfully campaigned for a seat in the Senate in 1946. He defeated the Democratic candidate, former Senator Berkeley L. Bunker, receiving 55 percent of the vote. Malone was reelected to the Senate in 1952, receiving 51 percent of the vote. He was defeated for re-election in 1958 by Democrat Howard W. Cannon, receiving 42 percent of the vote. He served in the Senate from 1947 to 1959.
