The 1928 United States Senate election in Texas was held on November 6, 1928. Incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Earle Mayfield ran for re-election to a second term.
Mayfield drew several primary challengers, including former governor Oscar Branch Colquitt and U.S. Representatives Tom Connally and Thomas L. Blanton .[2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
Mayfield, who in his previous race had been supported by the Ku Klux Klan , was very ideologically similar to Connally. Despite having been defeated by him in the Democratic primary six years prior, former Governor Pa Ferguson endorsed Mayfield against Connally, considering him to be the lesser of two evils .[8] [9] Texas Republican Party nominated attorney Thomas M. Kennerly to run against him.[10] Herbert Hoover carrying the state in the concurrent presidential election .[11] [12] [13]
