The United States House of Representatives elections in California, 1994 was an election for California's delegation to the United States House of Representatives, which occurred as part of the general election of the House of Representatives on November 8, 1994. As in much of the country during the Republican Revolution, Republicans made gains in California's House delegation, gaining three seats. In a December 12, 1995, special election former Rep. Tom Campbell won Rep. Norman Mineta's old seat and tied the delegation at 26 seats a piece. This would be the last time that Republicans defeated an incumbent Democrat in a general election in California until 2020. As of 2022 this is the last time Republicans won the house popular vote in California.
