The U.S. House election, 1974 was an election for the United States House of Representatives in 1974 that occurred in the wake of the Watergate scandal, which had forced President Richard Nixon to resign in favor of Gerald Ford. This scandal, along with high inflation,[1] allowed the Democrats to make large gains in the House election, taking 49 seats from the Republicans and increasing their majority above the two-thirds mark.

Notable freshmen included future Transportation Secretary Norm Mineta and many future Senators: Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), Paul Simon (D-Ill.), Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), Paul Tsongas (D-Mass.), Max Baucus (D-Mont.), Larry Pressler (R-S.D.), Bob Krueger (D-Tex.), and Jim Jeffords (R-Vt., later Independent).

Future president Bill Clinton was the Democratic nominee for a district in Arkansas, but lost.
