Summary of party change of U.S. house seats in the 2004 House election.
  1-2 Democratic seat pickup
  1-2 Republican seat pickup
  3-5 Republican seat pickup

Elections to the Illinois. Republicans gained an open seat in Kentucky and ousted an incumbent in Indiana. A pair of seats in Louisiana swapped party control. Republicans gained several redistricted seats in Texas.

On the same date were the 2004 Presidential election, the 2004 Senate election, and many state gubernatorial elections. The Republicans retained a majority, a newly reelected Republican President had stated that he had earned political capital after the election,[1] and the party seemed [2] to be in a position of great strength. However, this would change in the 2006 elections.

Washington

All seven incumbents who ran for re-election, none of whom faced viable challengers, were returned to Congress. None received less than 60% of the vote, and one received over 80%. In addition, the two seats vacated by retiring Republicans were both reclaimed by Republicans despite Democratic hopes to gain at least one seat in the vulnerable 8th district.
