House of Representatives – By State

There are 54 new Congresspeople in the House of Representatives. The following 20 states didn’t have any changes in their representatives:

• Alaska (1 representative)
• Arkansas (4)
• Delaware (1)
• Georgia (13)
• Hawaii (2)
• Indiana (9)
• Iowa (5)

• South Carolina (6)
• South Dakota (1)
• Vermont (1)

California’s 4th district had two changes, though the party was the same, and other than that, the remaining 52 districts reelected the incumbent.

In addition to California, Kentucky, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Oregon, Tennessee, Utah and Wyoming had new people, but the parties remained the same. So that means that 29 of 50 states look exactly the same by party.

Of the 54 new representatives, 33 are Democrats and 21 are Republicans:

• 26 switched from Republican to Democrat
• 5 switched from Democrat to Republican
• 17 stayed Republican
• 6 stayed Democrat

New Mexico has three seats, and all of them are newly elected, with two seats changed from Republican to Democrat.
