List of members of the United States House of Representatives who served a single term


There are members of the United States House of Representatives who spent only a single two-year term in office usually either due to death, resignation, or defeat. In some rare cases freshmen members have decided to run for another office or not run for reelection. Many members who serve in the House for only one term are viewed as accidental members due to having been elected by either riding in on the coattails of a popular presidential or statewide candidate or by winning against a scandalized incumbent.
Not included in this list are non-voting delegates. Members who served as a Congressperson in the United States Congress, but also served in the Congress of the Confederate States or as a delegate, are included.
