A LOOK TOWARDS 2022
Following House Republicans’ 2020 success, Democrats have been left with a historically small majority.
As of today, Republicans need to net just seven seats to retake the majority and are in prime position to finish what we started in 2022.
For historical perspective, since the end of World War II, the president’s party has lost an average of 27 House seats in their first midterm election.
History is not the only factor
working in House Republicans’ favor. Republicans also won at the state and local level. The importance of the GOP’s success down-ballot cannot be overstated. Below is a projected breakdown of which party will be responsible for drawing the new congressional maps.
• Republicans: 173 seats • Democrats: 47 seats
• Split Control: 60 seats
• Commissions: 148 seats • At Large: 7 seats
WHO’S IN CHARGE?
REDISTRICTING OVERVIEW
Democrats’ historically small majority, toxic policies and a potentially favorable redistricting cycle all point to House Republicans building on 2020 successes.
We are optimistic at our chances to retake the majority and we are going to fight like hell to ensure we are in
a position to finish what we started.
