Republican Democratic
The 2000 House elections in Missouri occurred on November 7, 2000 to elect the members of the State of Missouri's delegation to the United States House of Representatives. Missouri had nine seats in the House, apportioned according to the 1990 United States census.
These elections were held concurrently with the United States Senate elections of 2000 (including an election in Missouri where Democrat Mel Carnahan was posthumously elected to the United States Senate), the United States House elections in other states, and various state and local elections.
Republicans narrowly flipped the sixth district, thereby giving Republicans a majority in the delegation. Missouri was one of five states where the party that won the popular vote did not win the most seats, along with Texas, New Mexico, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.
