The 2004 United States House of Representatives elections were held on November 2, 2004 to elect all 435 seats of the chamber. It coincided with the reelection of President George W. Bush as well as many Senate elections and gubernatorial elections. In the 108th Congress, Republicans held 227 seats, Democrats held 205, with two Republican vacancies and one independent. As a result of this election, the 109th Congress began composed of 232 Republicans, 201 Democrats, one independent (who caucuses with the Democrats), and one vacancy (Democrat Bob Matsui won reelection, but died just two days before the beginning of the 109th Congress.).

Democrats won open seats in Colorado, South Dakota, and New York while ousting incumbents in Georgia and Illinois. Republicans won an open seat in Kentucky and multiple seats in Texas while ousting an incumbent in Indiana. Two seats in Louisiana swapped party control. George W. Bush became the first Republican president to have his party gain seats in consecutive elections for the first time since Teddy Roosevelt in 1902 and 1904.

As of 2021, this is the last election in which someone who was not from the Democratic or Republican party was elected to the House (Independent Bernie Sanders). As of 2021, this is also the last election where Republicans made consecutive net gains in the House after gaining seats in the 2002 election. This was also the first election that the Republicans made gains in the chamber during a Presidential election year in which their candidate won since 1984.

Washington[]

All seven incumbents who ran for re-election, none of whom faced viable challengers, were returned to Congress. None received less than 60% of the vote, and one received over 80%. In addition, the two seats vacated by retiring Republicans were both reclaimed by Republicans despite Democratic hopes to gain at least one seat in the vulnerable 8th district.
