Background
Following the 2002 elections, the Republicans gained control of the House, giving them a governmental trifecta for the first time since Reconstruction.[1][2] Democrats gained a net of one seat back from the Republicans in the 2004 elections, holding onto many rural districts that Republicans had targeted.[3]
Special Elections
District 48: A special election was held on January 7, 2006, to fill the unexpired term of Rep. Todd Baxter, who resigned on November 1, 2005.[4] Democrat Donna Howard received 49.46% in the special election, narrowly missing the 50% mark needed to win outright, so she faced Republican Ben Bentzin in the runoff on February 14, 2006.[5] Howard won the runoff with 57.62%, flipping the district.[6]
