In this General Assembly, all 35 positions in the Arkansas Senate and 100 positions in the Arkansas House of Representatives were both controlled by the Democrats.

Democratic hegemony was typical in Arkansas and throughout the American South during the Solid South period.

The senate was completely controlled the Democratic party.

Fifteen freshman senators took seats in the chamber, including John Fred Parish (D-29th), who successfully contested the reelection of incumbent R. A. Nelson, who was seated at the beginning of the session.

Only three members had first won election to the House in 1928.
