Sometimes the Suite 8F Group formed a consensus around a political candidate, then supported him as a group. For example, the group backed Oscar Holcombe, Sam Rayburn, and the first two campaigns of Franklin Delano Roosevelt for president.
Suite 8F helped to coordinate the political activities of other right-wing politicians and businessmen based in the South, these included Robert B. Anderson, president of the Texas Mid-Continent Oil and Gas Association...
The 8F Crowd had connections to various media outlets including the Houston Chronicle, the Houston Post, television station KPRC, and radio stations KPRC and KTRK-TV.
The group was reported to exercise leverage over Big Oil.
