The U.S. House election, 1804 was an election for the United States House of Representatives to the Ninth United States Congress. Voting in the various states took place between April 1804 (New York) and August 1805 (Tennessee) with the Congress meeting on December 2, 1805.
Under the popular reign of Thomas Jefferson, the president's party continued to gain seats in the House. Territorial and economic expansion both gave voters a positive view of the Democratic-Republicans, which eclipsed the 3/4 mark in terms of seat percentage. Following this election, Federalists held few seats outside of New England and party legitimacy was being corroded as political thought turned away from the rather aristocratic Federalist ideals.
