Republicans captured control of Congress for the first time since 1928 due to the extreme unpopularity of President Harry Truman. California was indicative of the results as Republicans gained seven seats, one of which was won by a recently returned WWII veteran named Richard Nixon. Democrats would not regain a majority of the delegation until after the 1958 election. 2 Overview United States House of Representatives elections in California, 1946PartyVotes%BeforeAfter+/– Republican 1,203,346 51.59% 7 14 +7 Democratic 1,126,591 48.30% 16 9 -7 Prohibition 1,476 0.06% 0 0 0 Write-ins 1,248 0.05% 0 0 0 Totals 2,332,661 100.0% 23 23 — Results Final results from the Clerk of the House of Representatives: District 1 • District 2 • District 3 • District 4 • District 5 • District 6 • District 7 • District 8 • District 9 • District 10 • District 11 • District 12 • District 13 • District 14District 15 • District 16 • District 17 • District 18 • District 19 • District 20 • District 21 • District 22 • District 23 District 1 California's 1st congressional district election, 1946 Democratic Party (United States) Clarence F.
