In the 1946 Governor's race, Democrat Jimmy Davis defeated Republican incumbent Sam Jones in Louisiana. Davis, a country singer and former governor, ran a populist campaign centered on anti-corruption and support for rural interests. Jones, who had been in office for two terms, was unable to overcome Davis's popularity and lost the election. Davis's victory marked a shift in Louisiana politics towards a more conservative and populist direction.
