Powers was born in Eagleville, California. He was a rancher in Modoc County who owned many ranches in California, Nevada, and Idaho. First elected to the California State Senate in 1932, Powers represented Lassen, Modoc and Plumas counties. Powers served as President pro tempore of the Senate beginning in 1947.[2]

In 1953, Powers became Lieutenant Governor of California, was elected to a full term in 1954, and served until 1959. In 1962, he ran for governor but withdrew due to the urging Republican leaders who supported Nixon. After he decided to quit campaigning for governor, Powers focused on rallying opposition to Nixon and to gain support for Democrat Edmund G. Brown.[3]
