1798–99 United States House of Representatives elections

Jonathan Dayton Federalist Theodore Sedgwick Federalist The 1798–99 United States House of Representatives elections were held on various dates in various states between April 24, 1798 in New York and August 1, 1799 in Tennessee.Each state set its own date for its elections to the House of Representatives, with some after the official start of the 6th United States Congress on March 4, 1799, but before the start of the first session of this Congress in Philadelphia on December 2, 1799.President Adams, a Federalist elected two years prior in the election of 1796, remained popular during a time of national economic growth,[citation needed] and the Federalists made a modest gain of three seats at the expense of the opposition Democratic-Republicans, the party of Vice President and future President Thomas Jefferson.Their passage seriously injured the chances of President Adams and Federalist congressional candidates in the elections of 1800.Majority vote required to win, necessitating a run-off election in the 1st (Western) district.
