House members, referred to as Congressmen/women or Representatives, serve two-year terms and are up for reelection every even year (2006, 2008, etc.). Senators serve six-year terms and elections to the Senate are staggered over even years so that only about 1/3 of the Senators are up for reelection in any given even year.
