The 1994 United States House of Representatives elections were held on November 8,1994,to elect U.S. Representatives to serve in the 104th United States Congress. They occurred in the middle of President Bill Clinton's first term. In what was known as the Republican Revolution,a 54-seat swing in membership from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party resulted in the latter gaining a majority of seats in the House of Representatives for the first time since 1952. It was also the largest seat gain for the party since 1946,and the largest for either party since 1948,and characterized a political realignment in American politics.
The 1982 United States House of Representatives elections was an election for the United States House of Representatives held on November 2,1982,to elect members to serve in the 98th United States Congress. They occurred in the middle of President Ronald Reagan's first term,whose popularity was sinking due to economic conditions under the 1982 recession. The President's Republican Party lost seats in the House,which could be viewed as a response to the President's approval at the time. Unlike most midterm election cycles,the number of seats lost—26 seats to the Democratic Party—was a comparatively large swap. It included most of the seats that had been gained the previous election,cementing the Democratic majority. Coincidentally,the number of seats the Democrats picked up (26),was the exact amount the Republicans would have needed to win the House majority. It was the first election held after the 1980 United States redistricting cycle.
The 1966 United States House of Representatives elections was an election for the United States House of Representatives on November 8,1966,to elect members to serve in the 90th United States Congress. They occurred in the middle of President Lyndon B. Johnson's second term. As the Vietnam War continued to escalate and race riots exploded in cities across the country,Johnson's popularity had fallen,and the opposition Republican Party was able to gain a net of 47 seats from Johnson's Democratic Party,which nonetheless maintained a clear majority in the House. This was also the first election that occurred after the Voting Rights Act of 1965 became law,and the first time since 1870 that a Republican won a House seat in Arkansas,and the first since 1876 that they did so in South Carolina.
