Democrats Still Rule State Assembly and Senate
Based on unofficial returns, North Carolina party control favors Democrats with 11 Republicans in the House of 120 and 2 Republicans in the Senate of 50 for the 1935 General Assembly meeting in January. Republican gains were smaller than predicted, with several counties electing GOP members and Joseph Williams of Yadkinville winning the 24th district seat.
