How do you find out the answer? I know there are 9 in my state.
States are divided into districts for the purposes of US Representatives. There is only 1 representative per district.

Due to gerrymandering with bizarrely-shaped districts, it can be tricky to find out which district you're in. The same zip code can include segments of 3 different districts that zigzag through the state. For example, look at the district map of Debbie Wasserman Schultz: http://wassermanschultz.house.gov/images/fl20_lg.gif
The link below can help you find your district and Congressperson. Fortunately they have a page that narrows it down by street address, in case your zip code includes multiple districts.

They hardly ask this question, especially in DOs where applicants can live in any number of constituencies. If it's Montana, for example, then they can ask, but if it's Los Angeles or New York City, it's unlikely to come up.

In order to use the house page referenced above you need to use your ZIP+4 code in order to find your representative. If you need to know the +4 to your Zip Code you can look it up at www.usps.com
Also, don't forget that the 113th Congress was sworn-in today. Therefore any answers from today forward need to be in referenced to the 113th Congress. I know my particular address changed Congressional Districts and as a result I have a new representative in Congress.
