The 1976 United States House of Representatives elections was an election for the United States House of Representatives in 1976 which coincided with Jimmy Carter's election as President. Carter's narrow victory over Gerald Ford had limited coattails, and his Democratic Party gained a net of only one seat from the Republican Party in the House. This election is notable for being the last time any party had a veto-proof majority in the House. Notable Freshmen included future Vice Presidents Dan Quayle and Al Gore, future Senators Daniel Akaka, Barbara Mikulski, Ed Markey, and Paul S. Trible Jr., future Governor of Arkansas Jim Guy Tucker, future Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, future Secretary of Agriculture Dan Glickman, future Director of the Office of Management and Budget David Stockman, future House Majority Leader Dick Gephardt, future House Majority Whip David Bonior, and future Texas Attorney General Jim Mattox.

The Fall of 1976 saw that some Republican leaders continued to debate the future of the party and its message to American voters. One prominent Republican, Ronald Reagan, weeks after the 1976 elections spoke to an audience in Boston where he expressed his openness to renaming the party as a way of rebuilding its support in the electorate. The Washington Post on November 20, 1976 reported Reagan's speech in Boston where he spoke in favor of changing the party's name. Reagan claimed that he wanted “to enlist support among the growing numbers of independents and disappointed democrats for a new Republican Party” (Washington Post. pA13). It was also reported in The Des Moines Register on Friday November 19, 1976 that Reagan discussed that although a name change might be in order, when asked to suggest possible names for the GOP, Reagan mentioned “he didn’t care what it was called as long as it’s something new” (The Des Moines Register). At the time, the party was in dire need of change. Although many conservatives were frightened by this possibility, the few that were angered by the decisions of the Ford administration welcomed this new idea. Years later, the idea that the Republican Party was over became a thing of the past. Reagan ran against President Jimmy Carter in the 1980 presidential election. Winning this election and also winning the Republicans the Senate was a major victory for the Republican party after the set backs of Watergate. Although the future of the party was still undecided, this new era brought positive optimism for the future of the Republicans.
