1906 United States House Of Representatives Elections In Nebraska
The 1906 United States House of Representatives elections were held in the middle of President Theodore Roosevelt's second term. As in many midterm elections, the President's Republican Party lost seats to the opposition Democratic Party, but retained a large overall majority.

However, gains in these regions were not enough to remove the Republican majority or the firm support that the party held among the middle class. Special elections Election summaries Election dates In 1906, three states, with 8 seats among them, held elections early: * June 4 Oregon * September 4 Vermont * September 10 Maine Maine () is a state in the New England and Northeastern regions of the United States.

1934 United States House Of Representatives Elections In Nebraska
The 1934 United States House of Representatives elections were held in the middle of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's first term. The Democratic Party continued its progress, gaining another 9 net seats from the opposition Republican Party, who also lost seats to the Progressive Party. The Republicans were reduced below one-fourth of the chamber for the first time since the creation of the party. The Wisconsin Progressive Party, a liberal group which allied with the Democrats, also became a force in Wisconsin politics. The 1934 elections can be seen as a referendum on New Deal policies. While conservatives and people among the middle class who did not bear the brunt of the depression saw New Deal programs as radical, lower-income voters overwhelmingly voted in this election cycle to continue the implementation of Roosevelt's agenda. This marked the first time that an incumbent president's party did not lose seats in both houses in a midterm election, followed by 1998 and 2002. ...
