The 1941 United States Senate special election in Texas was held on June 28, 1941 to complete the unexpired term of Senator Morris Sheppard , who died in office on April 9. Interim Senator Andrew Jackson Houston did not run for re-election and died only two days before the election. The race was won by Governor Pappy O'Daniel with a plurality of the vote; no majority was required.
O'Daniel very narrowly defeated U.S. Representative Lyndon B. Johnson , who won the seat after O'Daniel's retirement in 1948.
Background
[ edit ]
In April 1941, incumbent Senator Morris Sheppard died in office. Governor Pappy O'Daniel appointed Andrew Jackson Houston to fill the seat until a successor could be duly elected, with the election scheduled for June 28. The winner finished Sheppard's term ending in 1943.
Houston did not run to complete the term, only serving as a placeholder for Governor O'Daniel. He died in office only two days before the election.
