1968 United States House of Representatives elections

Common card · No. 228041

The 1968 United States House of Representatives elections were elections for the United States House of Representatives on November 5, 1968, to elect members to serve in the 91st United States Congress. They coincided with Richard M. Nixon's election as president. Nixon's narrow victory yielded only limited gains for his Republican Party, which picked up a net of five seats from the Democratic Party. The Democrats retained a majority in the House. As of 2026, this is the last time a former Representative from one state was elected to represent a district in another state during their career. In this case, Ed Foreman, who represented Texas's 16th congressional district for a single term from 1963 to 1965, was elected to represent New Mexico's 2nd congressional district.
