Federal

In the U.S. Congress, each state has two U.S. senators. They represent the state at large. Each state is divided into seven congressional districts. Each congressional district has a different U.S. representative (sometimes referred to as a congressman or congresswoman).

There are 435 congressional districts in the country. The district boundaries (lines) are supposed to be drawn so that districts reflect the population distribution proportionally. After every 10-year census, the lines are redrawn to adjust for population changes. Colorado's districts are scheduled to be re-evaluated again in 2020.
