1936 United States House of Representatives elections
Significant representation from the Progressives of Wisconsin and Farmer–Labor Party of Minnesota was also seen, as these two liberal populist groups gained a foothold.[2] The 1936 elections showed the continuing trust of the American people in Roosevelt to guide the nation out of the Great Depression.Despite setbacks, most had faith in the New Deal and elected leaders who supported its measures.This was the last of four straight elections where Republicans lost seats in Congress due to the lingering effects of the Depression.[3] Source: Election Statistics – Office of the Clerk In the 1st district, Republican Arthur B. Jenks was initially declared the winner, and sat in the House from January 1937 to June 1938, but Democrat Alphonse Roy successfully contested the election and served the remainder of the term before losing the 1938 election to Jenks.
