2016 Kentucky House Of Representatives Election
The 2016 Kentucky House of Representatives elections were held on November 8, 2016, as part of the biennial United States elections. All 100 of Kentucky's state representatives were up for reelection. In Kentucky, members of the House of Representatives serve two-year terms. Accordingly, they are up for reelection in both presidential and midterm election years. Republicans gained 17 seats in the election, winning the chamber outright. This ended nearly 100 years of Democratic control of the house, as the last time that Republicans won a majority was in 1919. Republicans performed well in rural districts and flipped many seats held by Democrats, including Democratic Speaker Greg Stumbo who lost reelection. Together with Republican governor Matt Bevin, this was the first time in history that Republicans gained a trifecta in the state. A numbered map of the house districts at the time can be viewehere Retiring incumbents Brad Montell resigned in October 2016. Thomas Kerr resign ...
