Martin's long tenure was marked with the characteristic of being a compassionate conservative.[1]
U.S. House of Representatives
1930s
During the New Deal era as many black voters who traditionally supported the Republicans began to favor the Democratic Party only for short-term economic benefits during the Great Depression (though well-aware of the party's history of racism),[2] Martin worked to maintain the Republican Party commitment to helping blacks as a priority,[3] holding powerful positions within the Republican establishment during the time in the RNC and as a campaign manager for Alf Landon, a Moderate Republican who unsuccessfully challenged FDR in the 1936 presidential election.
