Samuel Pearson "Terry" Goddard III (born January 29, 1947) is an American attorney and politician. A member of the Democratic Party, he served as the Mayor of Phoenix from 1984 to 1990, on the Central Arizona Water Conservation District from 2001 to 2003 and as the 24th Attorney General of Arizona from 2003 to 2011.
He has twice been the Democratic nominee for Governor of Arizona: in 1990 and in 2010, losing on each occasion to the Republican incumbent: Fife Symington and Jan Brewer, respectively. After leaving office as Attorney General he led his own law firm, Goddard Law Office, PLC. He declined to run for Governor for a third time in 2014 and was instead the Democratic nominee for Secretary of State of Arizona in the 2014 elections, losing to Republican State Senator Michele Reagan.
Goddard was born on January 28, 1947 and raised in Tucson, Arizona, the son of Julia E. "Judy" (née Hatch) and Samuel Pearson Goddard, Jr., who served as Governor of Arizona from 1965 to 1967. His great-grandfather, Ozias M. Hatch, was Illinois Secretary of State 1857 to 1865. He attended Phillips Exeter Academy, a prep school in Exeter, New Hampshire. After graduating from Harvard College in 1969, he served an active duty tour in the U.S. Navy. Returning to Arizona, he received his law degree from Arizona State University in 1976. His time as a private attorney saw him working in the Arizona Attorney General's office, where he prosecuted white collar crime. Goddard is married and has one son.
