- Totals display representatives in the US federal government’s House of Representatives, and do not reflect the number of reps in each state’s individual House of Representatives.
- Representatives are reapportioned every 10 years, in response to the results of the latest US census.
The United States Congress is composed of two houses: the House of Representatives and the Senate. Both houses together form the national legislature of the United States. The composition of the House is established by Article One of the Constitution. The House is in charge of passing federal legislation (bills), which are then sent to the president for consideration. Additionally, the House has several exclusive powers, such as impeaching federal officers and electing one of the top three recipients for president if no candidate receives a majority of electors.
According to the U.S. Constitution, representatives must meet the following requirements: be at least 25 years old, be a U.S. citizen for at least seven years, and be a resident of the state they represent. Additionally, all 50 states maintain requirements for running for election, including a filing fee and a petition with a minimum number of valid signatures. Members of the House of Representatives serve two-year terms and are considered for reelection every even calendar year (the next reelections will be 2022, 2024, and so on). There are a total of 435 members in the House of Representatives, 221 of which are affiliated with the Democratic Party, 211 are affiliated with the Republican Party, and three seats are vacancies.
Top 10 States with the Highest # of Representatives
In 1941, Congress permanently adopted the “Method of Equal Proportion” to determine how many representatives each state is apportioned. This means that each state’s number of representatives is determined by the state’s population. California has the highest number of representatives, with 53 at a population of 39,747,267. Texas is the second highest with 36 representatives and a population of 29,087,070.
How Many Congressmen are There?
There are currently 535 voting members in Congress: 435 representatives that serve in the U.S. House of Representatives and 100 senators that serve in the U.S. Senate. Every state has two senators to represent their state in the Sense. In the House of Representatives, the number of representatives a state has depends on its population. For example, Delaware and Vermont only have one representative each, while California has 53. There are six non-voting members in the U.S. House of Representatives. One is a delegate representing the District of Columbia, another is a resident commissioner for Puerto Rico, and the other four are delegates for the permanently inhabited U.S. territories; American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S Virgin Islands.
