^Pr^ep^ar^{ed f}^o^r^M^e^m^b^ers^an^d^Com^mⁱ^t^t^ees^of^C^ong^r^e^ss

This report contains data on votes for Speaker of the House for the 94^th through 110^th Congresses ^th
and elections in party conferences or caucuses for major leaders within each party for the 94 ^th
through 111 Congresses. It reflects actual balloting on the House floor for Speaker and in the
Democratic Caucus and Republican Conference for other positions. Table 1 identifies the votes
for Speaker. Tables 2-14 provide the names and states of the candidates for each of the major
party offices, the Congress(es) in which they ran, and the votes they received. Also noted are
Members elected with no opposition. Although most caucus or conference balloting for
leadership positions took place prior to the convening of a new Congress, in some cases
leadership elections were held to fill vacancies during a Congress.
The 14 tables herein provide data on the individuals receiving votes for Speaker and the party
elections for the following positions:
• House Democratic Floor Leader,
• House Republican Floor Leader,
• House Democratic Whip,
• House Republican Whip,
• House Democratic Caucus Chairman,
• House Republican Conference Chairman,
• House Democratic Caucus Secretaries/Vice Chairman,
• House Republican Conference Vice Chairman,
• House Republican Conference Secretary,
• House Republican Policy Committee Chairman,
• House Republican Research Committee Chairman,
• House National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman, and
• House Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman.
Since 1974, there have been no formal contests within either party for the election of the Speaker
of the House. Where there were contested races for other positions, most were decided after one
ballot. In a few races, two ballots were needed. Three ballots were necessary before a Democratic ^th
floor leader was elected for the 95 Congress, before a Republican leader was elected for the ^th^th
106 Congress, and for the election of the chair of the House Republican Conference in the 110
Congress.
The data do not include notices of announced candidacies that were abandoned before caucus or
conference voting took place.
This report will be updated as necessary.

This report contains data on votes for Speaker of the House for the 94^th through the 110^th
Congress and elections in party conferences or caucuses for major leaders within each party for ^th^th
the 94 through 111 Congresses. It reflects actual balloting on the House floor for Speakers and
in the Democratic Caucus and Republican Conference for other positions. Table 1 identifies the
votes for Speaker. Tables 2-14 provide the names and states of the candidates for each of the
major party offices, the Congress(es) in which they ran, and the votes they received. Also noted
are Members elected with no opposition. Although most caucus or conference balloting for
leadership positions took place prior to the convening of a new Congress, in some cases
leadership elections were held to fill vacancies during a Congress.

Since 1974, there have been no formal contests within either party for the election of the Speaker
of the House. Where there were contested races for other positions, most were decided after one
ballot. In a few races, two ballots were needed. Three ballots were necessary before a Democratic ^th
floor leader was elected for the 95 Congress, before a Republican leader was elected for the ^th^th

106 Congress, and for the chair of the House Republican Conference in the 110 Congress.

In many of the Congresses, at least one leader was selected without opposition or by acclamation.
In those instances where published accounts did not mention a contest for a particular office or
provide vote totals, a candidate is listed as having been selected without opposition. In a few
instances, published sources did not provide data on votes cast in a particular contest.
The data also do not include notices of announced candidacies that were abandoned before caucus
or conference voting took place.
