The 2022 elections have claimed at least two dozen House incumbents as of Sunday morning, though more of them fell in primaries than in the general election.
Among those who lost were Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, once a member of the House Republican leadership; New York Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee efforts this year; and longtime Ohio Rep. Steve Chabot, who was first elected in 1994.
Two Texas Republicans lost under unique circumstances. Rep. Van Taylor withdrew from his race in March after being forced into a runoff; Taylor acknowledged that he had been unfaithful to his wife as he dropped out of the race.
Rep. Mayra Flores won a special election for an open seat under Texas’ old map in June, but was defeated last week by Democratic Rep. Vicente Gonzalez Jr. in the revised 34th District.
