All 435 voting seats in the [[United States House of Representatives]] will be up for election. As of April 2019, only one representative, [[Steve Cohen]] (D-TN) has announced his plan to run again in 2022.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Burgess|first1=Katherine|title=Cohen to seek re-election to Congress in 2020 and 2022|url=https://www.commercialappeal.com/story/news/politics/2019/01/01/cohen-seek-re-election-congress-2020-and-2022/2457391002/|newspaper=The Commercial Appeal|date=January 1, 2019|accessdate=April 11, 2019}}</ref> The incumbents in these races will be determined in the [[2020 United States House of Representatives elections|2020 House of Representatives elections]] and subsequent special elections. As these elections will be the first conducted after the post-[[2020 United States Census|2020 Census]] [[2022 United States redistricting|redistricting]], several districts may lack an incumbent or have multiple incumbents.
On June 26th 2020, the [[DC statehood|H.R 51]] "D.C Admissions Act" was passed by the the House of Representatives, meaning it could potentially be passed into law, admitting the [[District of Columbia]] as a state during the 117th Congress, this would give the state two senators and one member of the House of Representatives.<ref>https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/51</ref> The [[2020 US election|2020 US elections]] also saw the [[2020 Puerto Rican status referendum]] also saw the territory of [[Puerto Rico]] vote in favor of being admitted into the union as a state, meaning Puerto Rico becoming a state also stands as a possibility during the 117th Congress, like DC it would have two senators, but gain five seats in the House of Representatives.
