California, like all states, has two Senators, and each senator serves a six-year term. Neither of California's U.S. Senate seats is up for election in 2002. California currently has 52 representives in the House of Representatives - more than any other state. In fact, California gained one seat in the House this year due to reapportionment and will elect 53 representatives in November. Each member of the House represents about 640,000 people and is elected to a two-year term. There are currently no term limits in effect for federal offices. U.S. Senators and House members earn an annual salary of $150,000. The California Voter Foundation has compiled information on each of the 53 House races this year.
