The 1970 United States House of Representatives elections was an election for the United States House of Representatives held on November 3, 1970, in the middle of President Richard M. Nixon's first term. The President's Republican Party lost seats, in this case a net of 12, to the Democratic Party, which thus increased modestly its majority in the House. Many viewed the results as the American public showing fatigue over the ongoing Vietnam War as well as the fallout over the Kent State Massacre. This was also the first House election when all 50 states were using the same regional single-member district system to elect Representatives instead of using at-large congressional districts. Notable freshmen included future Housing Secretary and Vice Presidential nominee Jack Kemp, future Defense Secretary Les Aspin, future Senators Paul Sarbanes and James Abourezk, future Governor of Connecticut Ella T. Grasso, future Governor of Delaware Pierre S. du Pont IV, future Governor of Nebraska Charles Thone, and future Governor of North Dakota Arthur A. Link.
