Question: Given the following passage "Second, Democrats have always elevated their minority floor leader to the speakership upon reclaiming majority status.

Mann, R-IL, who had been minority leader for eight years, and elected Frederick Gillett, R-MA, to be Speaker.

More recently, although Robert H. Michel was the Minority Leader in 1994 when the Republicans regained control of the House in the 1994 midterm elections, he had already announced his retirement and had little or no involvement in the campaign, including the Contract with America which was unveiled six weeks before voting day.", answer the following question.

the 1994 midterm elections
