The 1976 United States House of Representatives elections were elections for the United States House of Representatives on November 2, 1976, to elect members to serve in the 95th United States Congress. They 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. The result was nevertheless disappointing to the Republicans, who were hoping to win back some of the seats they lost in the wake of the Watergate scandal two years earlier.
This election was the last time Democrats or any party had a twothirds supermajority in the House. It is also the last congressional election in which Democrats won a House seat in Wyoming.
Overall results
383 incumbent members sought reelection, but 3 were defeated in primaries and 12 defeated in the general election for a total of 368 incumbents winning.
