House Democrats now hold 235 seats, up from 203 before the 2006 elections vaulted them into the majority. Republicans hold 199 seats, down from 232 two years ago. Twenty-five House Republican incumbents are not running for reelection. Seven Democrats are making no attempt to retain their seats.

Dems Win Second Seat In Solidly GOP District

The win comes two months after Democrats picked up their first seat of the year. In March, Democrat Bill Foster won the Illinois seat of former House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R). That seat, like the Louisiana contest, was in solidly Republican areas. President Bush carried the Illinois district with 55 percent and the Louisiana district with 59 percent in 2004.
