The U.S. House election, 1982 was an election for the United States House of Representatives on 1982-11-02 in the middle of President Ronald Reagan's first term. As in most midterm elections, the President's Republican Party lost a net of 27 seats to the Democratic Party, including most of the seats that had been gained the previous election, cementing the Democratic majority. Possible contributing factors to the Democratic gains included high unemployment caused by the 1981-1982 recession: in fact November 1982 is regarded as the "trough" of the business cycle which preceded the 1980s economic expansion. Notable freshmen included future Senator and Presidential candidate John McCain (R-Ariz.), future Governor John McKernan (R-Me.), and future Governor, UN Ambassador, Cabinet Secretary and Presidential candidate Bill Richardson (D-N.M.). en.wikipedia.org
