United States House of Representatives elections, 1826

The U.S. House election, 1826 was an election for the United States House of Representatives in 1826.

In a midterm election, Democrats picked up enough seats to take over control of House. The Democratic Party was able to pick up the majority by painting an image of the National Republicans as elitist and the Democrats as the party of the common farmer or artisan. This tactic helped them pick up a number of rural seats.
