Yes and No.
Representation is apportioned by population for the seats in the House of Representatives with a minimum of one seat held by each state. Representation for seats in the Senate is set at two with no consideration for population. Therefore, it is possible that a representative from the House holds the same constituents as the two senators from a particular state. Such is the case in states were apportionment only allows for one seat in the House of Representatives. Currently this is true for the following seven states: Alaska, Delaware, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, and Wyoming (Census 2000). Interestingly, California as of 2000 has 53 seats in the house and only 2 senators.
