Biography

Samuel Davis Woods (born September 19, 1845) was a Republican politician who represented California in the United States House of Representatives at the turn of the twentieth century. Serving as a member of Congress from California’s 2nd District, he held office as a U.S. Representative during a period of national expansion and political realignment following the 19th century.

Woods began his congressional service on December 4, 1899, and served until March 3, 1903. Over the course of these years, he completed two terms in the House of Representatives. During this time, he was identified with the Republican Party and participated in the legislative work of the House as a representative of California, though specific committee assignments or legislative initiatives are not recorded in the available metadata.

After March 3, 1903, Samuel Davis Woods left Congress and is recorded as a former officeholder. Further details about his activities outside his congressional service, including his professional background, personal life, or later career, are not provided in the existing information.
