The elections were a mixed bag. Senate was ok, House was...not.
Senator
William B Bankhead - AL - Win!
Henry F Ashurst (i) - AZ - Win, retains his seat.
Teller Ammons - CO - Another victory.
Nathan P Bryan - FL - Lost in the primaries.
William C Adamson - GA - Lost in the primaries.
Bert H Miller - ID - Lost in the primaries.
William Dieterich - IL - Lost in the primaries.
Arthur H Greenwood - IN - Lost in the primaries.
M M Logan - KY - Lost in the primaries.
Raymond B Stevens - NH -Lost in the general. His opponent was the Senate PPT, so that would have been an upset.
Key Pittman - NV - Lost in the primaries. He's really good, but I can't get him to win.
Frazier Reams - OH - Lost in the primaries.
Elmer Thomas (i) - OK - Lost in the primaries. Losing an incumbent hurts.
John J McSwain - SC - Lost in the primaries.
William Bulow - SD - Finally, a victory.
Elbert D Thomas - UT - Lost in the primaries. Another really good candidate I can't get to win.
I ended up picking up two seats, so not bad.
Representatives
John Sparkman - AL1 - Lost in the primaries.
Oscar Underwood - AL2 - Lost in the primaries.
Otis Wingo (i) - AR1 - Held his seat.
Hattie Wyatt Caraway - AR2 - Lost in the primaries.
John R Murdock - AZ1 - Lost in the primaries.
Jerry Voorhis - CA2 - Lost in the primaries.
Clarence Lea (i) - CA3 - Held his seat. He's in a really red district, so I don't know how he keeps winning.
Alva B Adams - CO1 - Winner! I do well in Colorado for some reason.
Francis T Maloney - CT2 - Lost in the general.
Robert A Green - FL1 - Lost in the primaries.
Robert Ramspeck - GA1 - Lost in the primaries.
Stanley H Kunz (i) - IL5 - Held his seat.
Scott W Lucas (i) - IL6 - Held his seat.
Sherman Minton (i) - IN1 - Held his seat.
Rene L De Rouen (i) - LA1 - Held his seat.
Riley J Wilson (i) - LA2 - Held his seat.
William P Connery Jr - MA2 - Lost in the primaries.
Harry S Truman (i) - MO2 - Lost in the primaries. This really hurts my long term strategy.
A S J Carnahan (i) - MO3 - Held his seat.
Robert L Doughton - NC1 - Lost in the primaries.
Edwin Y Webb - NC2 - A surprise victory. He's one of my few far right politicians.
William H Smathers - NJ1 - Lost in the primaries.
A Harry Moore - NJ2 - Another surprise victory.
George Silzer (i) - NJ3 - Held his seat.
John E Miles (i) - NM1 - Lost in the primaries. He's not great, but I still hate losing incumbents.
Frank Lausche - OH1 - Lost in the primaries.
Francis J Myers (i) - PA2 - Initially lost in the primaries, but I called out a rules violation since the challenger who beat him had the same ideology, which isn't allowed. On the do over, he won, then held his seat.
John M O'Connell - RI1 - Lost in the primaries.
Daniel Roper - SC1 - Lost in the primaries.
Olin D Johnston - SC2 - Another surprise win. It's hard for moderates to win primaries in the south, but somehow he did.
Cordell Hull (i) - TN1 - Still keeps winning. I don't know how long it will last though.
Finis J Garrett - TN2 - Lost in the primaries.
James Allred - TX1 - Lost in the primaries.
Sam Rayburn (i) - TX2 - Lost in the primaries. An absolute gut punch. He was Speaker of the House, and didn't even get out of the primaries. By political value points, he's my third best politician, so I'm devastated by this one.
Lee O'Daniel - TX3 - Lost in the primaries.
So even though I picked up a seat in the house, I lost 2 of my top 4 guys, and Cordell Hull is on thin ice. I may have to think about bringing Adlai Stevenson off of the career track path to help out.
