The 1936 United States House of Representatives elections were elections for the

1866.[1]
To date, this was the last time that any party held three-quarters of all House seats, as well as the last time that a party won more than 300 House seats.

Significant representation from the Progressives of Wisconsin and Farmer–Labor Party of Minnesota was also seen, as these two liberal populist groups gained a foothold.[2]

The 1936 elections showed the continuing trust of the American people in Roosevelt to guide the nation out of the Great Depression. Despite setbacks, most had faith in the New Deal and elected leaders who supported its measures. This was the last of four straight elections where Republicans lost seats in Congress due to the lingering effects of the Depression.[3]
