Congressional service
Worley won the Democratic primary nomination following a mass campaign including many high school students.[3] He was elected to the 77th United States Congress and reelected to the four succeeding Congresses and served from January 3, 1941, until his resignation April 3, 1950.[1] He served as Chairman of the Committee on Election of President, Vice President, and Representatives in the 78th United States Congress.[1] In the 1948 general election, Worley handily defeated the Republican Party nominee, Texas historian and rancher J.

Worley's most notable electoral opponent during his Congressional years was LaMarr Bailey, a World War II veteran who ran as an anti-New Dealer. Bailey campaigned around the district on a horse.[4] Bailey lost the Democratic Primary to Worley in 1944.
