Notes

  1. Redistricting following the 1980 census moved Luken from the 2nd district to this district and Gradison from the first district to the 2nd district .
  2. In May 1993, a special election was held to fill the seat to replace Bill Gradison who, three months after his re-election, resigned on January 31, 1993, to become a lobbyist for the insurance industry as president of the Health Insurance Association of America.
