The 1974 United States House of Representatives elections were elections for the

freshmen representatives in the 94th Congress when it convened on January 3, 1975 (76 of them Democrats). Those elected to office that year later came to be known collectively as "Watergate Babies."[2]
The gain of 49 Democratic seats was the largest pickup by the party since 1958. Only four Democratic incumbents lost their seats.

As of 2024[update], this was the last time the Democrats gained 45 or more seats in a House election.

Overall results

391 incumbent members sought reelection, but 8 were defeated in primaries and 40 defeated in the general election for a total of 343 incumbents winning. This was the lowest number and percentage of incumbents who won reelection between 1954 and 1992.[3]
