Number of Representatives by State

Table

Introduction

The legislative body of the United States, i.e. the Congress, consists of two houses: the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. Elected officials from all 50 states represent their constituents in both Houses and work together or against one another to create laws and meet their constituents’ demands. 

The number of senators is capped at two per state with a 6-year term, and a third of them are elected every 2 years. The number of members in the House of Representatives is determined by the population from the state they are drawn from. For example, the state with the largest population in California with over 39 million people and therefore has 56 representatives within the house. This rule was determined in 1941 by the Method of Equal Proportion Act. Members of the House serve for a period of 2 years, and must be at least 25 years old. The total number of elected officials within the House of Representatives is currently 435.
