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 Ronald Reagan's first term, whose popularity was sinking due to economic conditions under the 1982 recession. The President's 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—27 seats to the Democratic Party—was a comparatively large swap. It included most of the seats that had been gained the previous election, cementing the Democratic majority.[1] Coincidentally, the number of seats the Democratic picked up (26), was the exact amount the Republicans needed to win the House majority.

In the previous election of 1980 Republicans gained many seats as the result of the popularity of Ronald Reagan. Many of these elected officials lost their seats in 1982.

Notable freshmen included future Senator and Presidential candidate John McCain (R-Ariz.), future Governor John McKernan (R-Me.), future Governor and Presidential candidate John Kasich (R-Oh.), future Governor and first Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge (R-Pa.), future Governor Don Sundquist (R-Tn.), future Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nv.) future Senator Barbara Boxer (D-Ca.), future Governor and Senator Tom Carper (D-De.), future Senator Connie Mack III (R-Fl.), future Senator Dick Durbin (D-Il,) future Senator Robert Torricelli (D-NJ), future Senator Mike DeWine (R-Oh.), and future Governor, UN Ambassador, Cabinet Secretary and Presidential candidate Bill Richardson (D-N.M.).

California

The delegation increased from 43 to 45 seats. To create the two-seat net gain, five seats with no incumbent were added (the 18th, 26th, 34th, 37th, and 44th districts) and three seats were lost through the merger of pairs of incumbents (Martinez and Rousselot, Grisham and Dreier, and Fiedler and Goldwater) in an election contest.[2] With redistricting controlled by Democrats in the state legislature and governorship, several Republicans faced substantially less favorable districts, with three running for the Senate seat eventually won by San Diego mayor Pete Wilson, and the party balance shifted by a net of five seats to the Democrats.
