Republicans won four new governors’ offices across the nation.

Democrats established a set of policies called the “Contract with America.”
D
Republicans lost seats in the US House of Representatives.

Explanation

The 1980 elections that launched the Reagan Revolution brought gains for Republicans in state races, including four additional governors’ offices. Democrats still held the House, and Republicans—not Democrats—won control of the Senate. The “Contract with America” came later, in 1994.
