	Returning to Arkansas in 1996, Berry announced his intention to run for the 1st District being vacated by [[Blanche Lincoln]]. With tough opposition from more progressive candidates, Berry narrowly won the primary with 52% of the vote, thanks to aggressive campaigning in the rural areas north of the Mississippi Delta region. In a district that had up to that time never elected a Republican, and with Berry outspending his opponent two-to-one in the general election, attorney Warren Dupwe, he claimed a modest victory (53%–44%) that November. He declined to run for statewide office, citing health, family responsibilities, and unspecified social issues. However, he enjoyed easy re-election from 1996 on, carrying the district 67%–33% in 2004, and then running unopposed in 2008, while receiving support from donors and groups also opposing the [[Barack Obama]] presidential campaign that year. He decided not to stand for re-election in 2010.		Returning to Arkansas in 1996, Berry announced his intention to run for the 1st District seat being vacated by [[Blanche Lincoln]].
