1902 United States House of Representatives elections
David Henderson Republican Joseph Cannon Republican The 1902 United States House of Representatives elections were held for the most part on November 4, 1902, with Oregon, Maine, and Vermont holding theirs early in either June or September.They occurred in the middle of President Theodore Roosevelt's first term, about a year after the assassination of William McKinley in September 1901.With a stable economy and no cornerstone issue, Democratic gains can mostly be linked to the effects of redistricting.[citation needed] This election marked the third and most recent time in American history where the incumbent president's party gained House seats in a midterm election while still losing seats in the Senate, the first two being in 1814 and 1822.[44][45] This was Wisconsin's first election with eleven congressional seats, up from ten in the previous term.
