Henry Rainey Democratic Jo Byrns Democratic The 1934 United States House of Representatives elections were elections for the United States House of Representatives to elect members to serve in the 74th United States Congress.

They occurred in the middle of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's first term.

The Republicans were reduced below one-fourth of the chamber for the first time since the creation of the party.

While conservatives and people among the middle class who did not bear the brunt of the Great Depression saw the New Deal programs as radical, lower-income voters overwhelmingly voted in this election cycle to continue the implementation of Roosevelt's agenda.

This election cycle marked the first time the president's party did not have a net loss of seats in either chamber of Congress in a midterm election, which would not be repeated until 1998 and 2002.
