1976 United States House of Representatives elections

August 22, 2023

The 1976 United States House of Representatives elections were elections for the United States House of Representatives on November 2, 1976, to elect members to serve in the 95th United States Congress. They coincided with Jimmy Carter's election as president. Carter's narrow victory over Gerald Ford had limited coattails, and his Democratic Party gained a net of only one seat from the Republican Party in the House. The result was nevertheless disappointing to the Republicans, who were hoping to win back some of the seats they lost in the wake of the Watergate scandal two years earlier.

The 1976 United States House of Representatives elections were elections for the United States House of Representatives on November 2 1976 to elect members to serve in the 95th United States Congress They coincided with Jimmy Carter s election as president Carter s narrow victory over Gerald Ford had limited coattails and his Democratic Party gained a net of only one seat from the Republican Party in the House The result was nevertheless disappointing to the Republicans who were hoping to win back some of the seats they lost in the wake of the Watergate scandal two years earlier 1976 United
