The elections for the United States House of Representatives took place on November 7, 2000, at the same time as the presidential election, which George W. Bush won. As a result, there were hardly any changes in the distribution of seats in the House of Representatives. The Republicans lost two seats, but were able to maintain their majority seat.
Two independent candidates who did not belong to either the Democratic Party or the Republican Party were elected: Bernie Sanders in Vermont (re-elected, representative for Vermont since 1990) and Virgil Goode in Virginia (re-elected, previously Democratic Party, "independent" since January 2000, from August 2002 Republican Party).
