Hoeppel and losing 45.8% to 43.2%, as well as a 1944 Senate race versus incumbent Democrat Sheridan Downey losing 52% to 48%. Houser was also a Superior Court judge, and prior to this, he served in the California State Assembly from 1931–1933.

Houser was born to California Court of Appeals Justice, Frederick W. Houser and Sara Wilde, both of whom were active participants in the early years of what is now the USC Gould School of Law.

Houser graduated from UCLA, specializing in government and economics, in 1926 and won its Edward A. Dickson Alumnus of the Year Award in 1948. He served as president of the alumni association 1933–1935. In later years Houser was a Harvard University professor teaching government. He was a resident of Alhambra, California.
