U.S. House election, 1970
The U.S. House election, 1970 was an election for the United States House of Representatives in 1970 which occurred in the middle of President Richard M. Nixon's first term. As with many midterm elections, the President's Republican Party lost seats, in this case a net of 12, to the Democratic Party, which thus increased modestly its majority in the House.
