United States Senate elections, 1994
Encyclopedia
The U.S. Senate election, 1994 was an election held on November 8, in which the Republican Party
was able to take control of the Senate
from the Democrats
. In a midterm election, the opposition Republicans held the traditional advantage. Congressional Republicans campaigned against the early presidency of Bill Clinton
, including his unsuccessful health care plan.
The Republicans captured eight seats from the Democrats, including the seats of sitting Sens. Harris Wofford
(PA) and Jim Sasser
(TN), as well as six open seats in Arizona
, Maine
, Michigan
, Ohio
, Oklahoma
, and Tennessee
. Notably, since Sasser's defeat coincided with the special election to replace Al Gore

), Tennessee's Senate delegation switched from entirely Democratic to entirely Republican in a single election.
This defeat changed control of the Senate from Democrats to Republicans for the first time since 1986
. In combination with the first change of control in the House of Representatives since 1954 and the Republicans' net gain of twelve governorships; this is sometimes called the Republican revolution
. Minority leader Robert J. Dole
(R-Kan.) became majority leader, while on the Democratic side, the new minority leader was Thomas A. Daschle
(S.D.), previous majority leader George J. Mitchell
(D-Maine) having retired.
Initially, the balance was 52–48 in favor of the Republicans, but after the power change, Democrats Richard Shelby
of Alabama
and Ben Nighthorse Campbell
of Colorado
switched parties, bringing the balance to 54–46 before the resignation of Bob Packwood
of Oregon
and his replacement by Democrat Ron Wyden
