Elections to the United States House of Representatives for the 29th Congress were held at different dates in the various states from July 1 1844 (Louisiana) to November 4 1845 (Mississippi). All 227 members of the House of Representatives elected took their seats when Congress convened December 1 1845. The elections mostly coincided with the 1844 presidential election won by dark horse Democratic candidate James K. Polk who won on a campaign advocating territorial expansion.
