Who's representing YOU in our nation's capitol? There are 100 U.S. Senators (two from each state) and 435 seats in the House of Representatives. The number of House Representatives each state has depends on that state's population. The House and the Senate together are called Congress. They make up the legislative, or law-making, branch of the government. Want to send a piece of your mind to your representative? Get connected with TFK's Congress Connection!
