2002 United States House of Representatives Elections (The New Millennium)

The 2002 United States House of Representatives Elections were held on November 5, 2002, in the middle of President Al Gore's first term, to elect U.S. Representatives to serve in the 108th United States Congress. This was the first elections using congressional districts drawn up during the 2000 redistricting cycle on the basis of the 2000 Census. This election also took place nearly 14 months after the September 11 Attacks.

While Republicans expected to expand their majority due to it being a midterm under a Democratic President, Republicans lost a net total of 2 seats, narrowly retaining control of the House with 218 seats. The Democrats, under Dick Gephardt, captured a net total of 3 seats from Republicans. Dennis Hastert would once again be re-elected to serve as Speaker of the House. This was one of three midterm elections where the party of the incumbent President did not net lose any seats in the House or Senate and is the first midterm where the party of the incumbent President net gained seats in the House since 1998. It is believed that the Democrats performance comes from the increased support for President Gore in the aftermath of the September 11 Attacks.
