That gave the Republicans a majority of the state's House delegation for the first time since Reconstruction after having not held any House seats in the state since 1901. </p><p>Dickinson was reelected by 9% in <a href="/wiki/United_States_House_of_Representatives_elections,_1966" class="mw-redirect" title="United States House of Representatives elections, 1966">1966</a>, when Democratic gubernatorial nominee <a href="/wiki/Lurleen_Burns_Wallace" class="mw-redirect" title="Lurleen Burns Wallace">Lurleen Burns Wallace</a> (running as a stand-in for her husband) led her party's slate to statewide victory by easily defeating Martin. Dickinson was then reelected 12 times. He usually skated to reelection, but faced close races in 1978, 1982 and 1990. </p><p>Dickinson never served in the majority during his entire 28-year House tenure. However, he became very popular in his district, even though almost none of its living residents had been represented by a Republican before. This was in part due to his reputation for strong constituent service. For instance, in 1974, when Republicans suffered heavy losses nationwide due to voter anger at the <a href="/wiki/Watergate_scandal" title="Watergate scandal">Watergate scandal</a>, Dickinson was reelected with 66 percent of the vote. Two years later, even as <a href="/wiki/Jimmy_Carter" title="Jimmy Carter">Jimmy Carter</a> became the last Democrat to date to win Alabama, Dickinson took 57 percent of the vote. Still, Democrats continued to hold most of the district's seats in the state legislature, and would continue to do so well into the 1990s. </p><p>Dickinson was an important figure in shaping national defense policies during the 1970s and 1980s.
