U.S. House of Representatives
Following the resignation of Rep. Leo F. Rayfiel to become a district court judge, Multer ran for the open seat in the 1947 special election and easily won, garnering 58% of the vote over two opponents.[2] He continued being re-elected twice before running again following redistricting in the 13th congressional district,[3] where he succeeded Donald O'Toole.
