Since you mention four, I assume you mean the unincorporated organized territories, there being four of those.

Puerto Rico has a territorial government that is set up essentially the same as a state government, with senators and representatives and a governor.

They send a "Resident Commissioner" to the US House of Representatives. The resident commissioner is nominally a nonvoting member (he's allowed to vote under certain circumstances, but it's basically symbolic and amounts to "you can vote as long as your vote doesn't actually affect the result."). They have no representation in the US Senate.

This basic pattern holds for the other territories as well, except that the US Virgin Islands and Guam have a unicameral legislature (there's no house of representatives, just a senate).
