1982 United States House of Representatives elections

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.^[1] 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.

In the previous election of 1980 Republicans gained many seats as the result of President Ronald Reagan's coattails. In 1982, 14 freshman representatives who ran for re-election lost their seats.

To date, this election marks the last time the Democrats picked up a House seat in West Virginia. It was also the last time the party holding the White House won independent voters in a congressional midterm election until 2022.^[2]

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 1 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 1982 United States House of Representatives
