Yes.
The qualifications for becoming a member of the house are that they must be 25 years old, have been a US citizen for 7 years, and they must live in the state they are representing.
The qualifications for becoming a member of the senate are that they must be 30 years old, have been a US citizen for 9 years, and they must live in the state they are representing.
So, after either 7 or 9 years, depending on which part of congress they wish to run for, they can become a member of congress.
