The Dust Bowl resulted in a lot of out migration from the Great Plains to (mostly) California in the 1930s and 1940s. Understandably, those without resources would be the people moving--where the wealthier and more influential would remain.
Interestingly, the impact of the Dust Bowl probably strengthened the Republican hand in this region for the long term--similar to what Hurricane Katrina did to Louisiana politically.
