Senate Senators are popularly elected statewide every two years, with one-third beginning new six year terms with each Congress. See Also: Category: United States Senators See Also: Category: United States Congressional Delegations by state House of Representatives The names of members of the House of Representatives elected statewide on the General Ticket or otherwise ''at-large,'' are preceded by an "At-Large," and the names of those elected from districts, whether plural or single member, are preceded by their district numbers. Many of the congressional district numbers are linked to articles describing the district itself. Since the boundaries of the districts have changed often and substantially, the linked article may only describe the district as it exists today, and not as it was at the time of this Congress.
