United States congressional delegations from Alaska
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Since Alaska became a U.S. state in 1959,[1] it has sent congressional delegations to the United States Senate and United States House of Representatives. Each state elects two senators to serve for six years, and member(s) of the House to two-year terms. Before becoming a state, the Territory of Alaska elected a non-voting delegate at-large to Congress from 1906 to 1959.
These are tables of congressional delegations from Alaska to the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives.

United States Senate
Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". Each state elects two senators by statewide popular vote every six years.[6] The terms of the two senators are staggered so that they are not elected in the same year, meaning that each seat also has a class determining the years in which the seat will be up for election. Alaska's senators are elected in classes 2 and 3.
There have been eight senators from Alaska, of whom four have been Democrats and four have been Republicans. William Egan and Ernest Gruening were elected to the Senate on October 6, 1956 for the 84th Congress but did not take the oath of office and were not accorded senatorial privileges, since Alaska was not yet a state.[7] Alaska's current senators, both Republicans, are Dan Sullivan, in office since 2015, and Lisa Murkowski, in office since 2002.
