Among the 1946 members of the NCPAC were actors Melvyn Douglas and Ronald Reagan.[33] Both PACs had been headed by the late labor leader, Sidney Hillman, and the two organizations shared office space in New York City.[34] While the CIO's national leadership decried communism; some of the local CIO-PAC branches were dominated by Communist Party members.[35] The CIO-PAC, which had endorsed Voorhis in 1944, refused to back him again. The Southern California chapter of the NCPAC endorsed Voorhis on April 1, 1946.
