Tom Foley

The 1992 United States House of Representatives elections coincided with the 1992 presidential election, in which Democrats Bill Clinton and Al Gore were elected as President and Vice President, respectively, defeating Republican incumbent President George H. W. Bush and Vice President Dan Quayle.

Contents

Despite this, however, the Democrats lost a net of nine seats in the House to the Republicans, in part due to redistricting following the 1990 Census. The Democrats nonetheless retained a majority in the House and Senate.

    North Dakota

  • North Dakota's house race occurred concurrently with both an ordinary senate race and a special election to the senate to replace appointee Jocelyn Burdick. The incumbent in the first senate race, Kent Conrad, ran in the special election and won; he switched seats in the senate on December 15. Democratic representative Byron Dorgan, therefore, who had won the first senate race, resigned from the house on December 15 to fill the newly vacated senate seat; as such, North Dakota's house seat remained vacant for 19 days, until Earl Pomeroy was sworn in on January 3.

    • Virginia

    One seat gained in reapportionment.
