TheInfoList



OR:

The 1982 United States House of Representatives elections was an election for the United States House of Representatives held on November 2, 1982, in the middle of President of the United States, President Ronald Reagan's first term, whose popularity was sinking due to economic conditions under the Early 1980s recession in the United States, 1982 recession. The President's Republican Party (United States), 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 (United States), Democratic Party—was a comparatively large swap. It included most of the seats that had been gained the previous election, cementing the Democratic majority. 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. 12 of those officials were gone by 1982. To date, this election marks the last time the Democrats picked up a House seat in West Virginia.
